From The Ghostly To The Polished
It's a smart idea to update the humble coffee table by adding a nifty set of rubber castors to it. It also has its own letter box - perfect for posting your magazines through and keeping the tabletop free of clutter.

With its grey Acrilux/white laminate top and black stained iroko frame this design is rich and smoky but the best bit is it's terribly flexible. Sliding leaves emerge from all four sides to quadruple its surface area.

We've told you enough times, so lets all chant it together: 'transparent furniture creates the illusion of light and space.' Yes, as well as looking effortlessly cool, this coffee table will sink seamlessly into almost any room set-up, without taking up too much room. And, it's cheap as chips!

A silky smooth ash veneer, a slender set of glide legs - this is the perfect coffee table for the style conscious. The fact that it's so cheap is really just a bonus. If you fancy something a bit lighter, it also comes in oak veneer or white plastic.
