BREWED TO PERFECTION

Some refer to them as coffee tables while others prefer the cocktail classification. I guess it depends on the time of day and activity. For our purposes let us use the coffee nomenclature as metaphorically implied in today’s title. Positioned typically in the living room they are quite versatile: meal tray, cup/bottle holder, floral podium, book/magazine stand or sculptural base. There are so many great ones to choose from, vintage or current. Here are just 30 selections for reference:
