AKORD hasn't tried to multiply its ranges: the brand revolves around one single shape, the NOX coffee table, offered in five finishes. Same frame, same lower shelf, and each time a different colour or leg style. That's not a shortcoming: it means the real question isn't "which table" but "which shade goes with my flooring and my sofa". The five listings below spell out what actually changes from one version to the next, and what never does. For brands that spread their range wider than one single shape, see our full brand directory.
AKORD Table de Salon avec 1 étagère NOX | 92 x 45 x 53 cm | Table Bass
53x45x92 cm · White
The base NOX model, tabletop 92 cm by 53 cm and 45 cm high, in white, built on a 16 mm laminated panel, described by AKORD as having an industrial look with a minimalist design that fits modern living concepts, with its lower shelf as extra storage space for magazines, remotes or small odds and ends. The downside of a matt white finish: a mug ring left without a coaster shows up faster than on Sonoma oak or rustic oak, so keep a set of coasters handy.
AKORD Table de Salon avec Une étagère DOMI | L92xH45xP53 cm | Table Ba
92 cm x 45 cm x 53 cm · Oak Sonoma + Legs White
The DOMI bench-style table, 92 x 53 x 45 cm, in Sonoma oak with white legs, an original design that AKORD presents as an ideal spot for a cup of coffee, a tea or a dessert. It's the only multi-purpose piece in the range, the one that blends best into a living room already full of light-coloured furniture. The printed wood doesn't have the grain of real solid oak: up close, the difference is felt under your fingers.
AKORD Table de Salon NOX | 92 x 45 x 53 cm | Table Basse Design Modern
92 x 45 x 53 cm · Oak Artisanal
The same NOX frame, 92 cm long and 45 cm high, finished in rustic oak — AKORD describes it here as having a modern character with clean lines, ideal for minimalist living concepts, working as a coffee table or as storage space for books and decorative items. It hides dust between two wipes better than the base NOX's white finish, but without a closed shelf: what's stored underneath stays visible from the sofa.
AKORD Table de Salon avec 1 étagère NOX | 92 x 45 x 53 cm | Table Bass
92 x 53 x 45 cm · Oak Artisanal
Yet another NOX frame with an industrial look and minimalist design, 92 cm by 53 cm, also in rustic oak, with the same lower shelf for magazines and remotes as the white NOX, but this time the tabletop is listed at 45 cm high, using the manufacturer's other way of measuring. So check both measurements before ordering if you're torn against the previous rustic oak listing: on paper they look alike, on the floor the gap shows.
AKORD Table de Salon avec 1 étagère NOX | 92 x 45 x 53 cm | Table Bass
92 cm x 53 cm x 45 cm · Oak Artisan
A fifth NOX variant, 92 x 53 x 45 cm, rustic oak with a slightly different varnish shade from the two other oak listings already mentioned, still described by AKORD for its extra storage shelf for magazines and remotes. The closest in look to the other two rustic oak NOX tables, but not identical: if you're torn between the three, check the exact colour shown on the listing rather than the name, which can be confusing.
AKORD builds four of its five listings around the NOX frame, described as having an industrial look and minimalist design, with the lower shelf serving as extra storage space for magazines and remotes. Two frames rarely cover everyone's taste, so our pick of low-cost designs sits nearby for wider comparison. The fifth, the DOMI bench-style table with white legs and a Sonoma oak top, stands apart by being presented as the ideal spot for a cup of coffee, a tea or a dessert. For a maker that builds its range around oval tops and a lower shelf instead, see what the Aibiju coffee tables put on the table. Readers after a closed compartment rather than a bare shelf will find it on the Casaria coffee table line-up, built around one shared frame. Another maker worth a look before deciding is the DecoInParis coffee table range, which approaches the same living room brief from a rather different angle.
Between the three rustic oak listings and the base NOX's white finish, colour changes more than function: each listing keeps the same lower shelf and the same 92 x 45 x 53 cm listed by AKORD, only the shade of the top and legs shifts.
Key point Between the three rustic oak listings and the base NOX's white finish.
What the AKORD range gets right, and what it leaves out
The lower shelf shared by all five NOX and DOMI versions is the real strength of this AKORD range: it saves you from adding a side table for magazines. In return, neither the industrial look of the NOX tables nor the interesting design of the DOMI offer a closed drawer: nothing is fully hidden from a guest's eye. Where AKORD leaves its storage open, the Calicosy coffee table range answers with clean lines and a wood top that hides everyday marks better. Anyone finding the AKORD choice too narrow can compare six very different shapes on the COSTWAY coffee table page, from woven rattan to sintered stone. Open shelves are not the only route to tidiness, as the defiPad coffee table line-up shows with its own take on hidden space.
The weak point shared by all five AKORD tops, whether white, Sonoma oak or rustic oak: a sensitivity to everyday marks. A coaster for the coffee table limits the issue without changing the look of the piece.

Frequently asked questions
Do all five AKORD tables share exactly the same dimensions?
Almost: the NOX frame repeats, but two listings show the height and depth in reverse order on their spec sheet. Always compare all three measurements one by one before choosing between two similar shades.
Can you store heavy items on the lower shelf?
It's designed for magazines and a remote, not for stacking hardback books. Too much weight concentrated on one corner will eventually make the panel sag slightly.
Do Sonoma oak and rustic oak look very similar?
From one photo to another the gap looks small, but the rustic shade leans more towards dark brown. If you're unsure, compare the two thumbnails side by side rather than one alone.
Do you need a rug under an AKORD table?
It's not compulsory, but a rug stops the legs from marking a light-coloured floor over time, especially under the white version.
Does the white finish yellow over time?
A matt white left in direct sunlight can slightly dull after several years; keep the table away from an uncovered window if you want it to keep its finish.

We don't test the furniture: we record each piece's measurements one by one and say where our figures come from. When a dimension is missing from a listing, we say so instead of guessing. Our method.
