You are simply the midpoint of the living room, where we humans tend to gather during gatherings. From you, we drink our coffee and read our magazines. Not forgetting the newspapers, remote controls and ETC.

Some of us use you as a leg raise. I really hope you don’t mind.

However, the companies who created you have given us problems. I present to you the top 25 problems of coffee tables.
