Just moved into a small apartment and I’m trying to pick a coffee table that works with my sofa—Is 50 cm too high for a coffee table, or is that still considered normal height?
A 50 cm coffee table is generally considered slightly tall, but whether it is suitable depends on the height of the sofa seat.
The standard height of a coffee table is usually around 35–45 cm, and the ideal height should be slightly lower than or level with the sofa seat (about 2.5–5 cm difference).
If the sofa seat height is around 45–50 cm, a 50 cm coffee table can still work. However, with a low-profile sofa, it may feel too high and reduce comfort and ease of reaching items.
