I don’t know why anyone would buy a coffee table without storage – especially when they’re as stylish, clever and practical as my top 9 picks

I stand by my argument that every coffee table should have some sort of storage space.

Perhaps it’s because I live in a small space, which makes me appreciate every extra storage solution all the more. But I think a coffee table with no storage space is a missed opportunity. And I certainly think when choosing a coffee table for a small living room, it needs to have some form of integrated storage.
