COSTWAY is the most eclectic brand in this selection: tempered glass, rattan-effect curved wood, sintered stone, and even a lift-top table for eating in front of the sofa. Six different styles rather than one line offered in colours, which makes comparing more useful here than elsewhere: each listing answers a specific need, from the minimalist living room to the room where meals are also eaten. For makers with a narrower but equally deliberate style, browse our directory of coffee table brands.
COSTWAY Table Basse Salon en Verre Trempé Rectangulaire Forme de U
108 x 50 x 35 cm · Transparent
A U-shaped table, 108 x 50 x 35 cm, clear tempered glass that COSTWAY lists as heat-resistant with a stable support and smooth edges for easy access to books or a cup of coffee placed on top. The U shape leaves the floor underneath completely clear, handy for cleaning. With no storage or shelf, it stays the simplest of the six, for anyone who just wants a top and nothing more.
A two-tier model, 90 x 50 x 45 cm, curved wood frame and PE rattan weave, upper top in heat-resistant tempered glass that COSTWAY presents as an excellent storage solution. The glass-and-rattan mix is a change from the rest of the range, visually warmer. PE rattan, an imitation of natural rattan, doesn't need the same upkeep but also doesn't have its exact texture.
A round two-tier table, 80 cm in diameter, 45 cm high, metal frame and a natural-finish wood top with a wood-grain look that COSTWAY says complements any interior style with an industrial look. The round industrial style contrasts with the U-shaped rectangle seen earlier, but the lower shelf isn't closed: it stays visible from the sofa, not hidden behind a door.
An oval Scandinavian table, 108 x 56 x 44 cm, sturdy metal legs, a black wood-grain top, whose irregular, stylised design lifts, according to COSTWAY, the living room's charm with a mid-century-style metal structure. The bold irregular shape breaks the monotony of a living room with too many straight lines. The slim, elegant metal leg copes less well with a direct sideways knock than a thick solid wood leg.
The lift-top version, 100 x 50 x 45 cm, a top that rises from 45 to 60 cm via a pneumatic system COSTWAY lists as improved, with 3 hidden compartments. It's the only dual-purpose table in the range, for living and dining, but the lifting mechanism is one more mechanical part to keep an eye on over time, unlike a classic fixed top.
A two-tier table in marble-look sintered stone, 90 x 50 x 45.5 cm, grey metal frame, with a large upper top and an open lower shelf that COSTWAY lists for displaying your items. Sintered stone resists heat and scratches better than an MDF or glass top. Its weight, heavier than the other models in the range, makes it less easy to move alone.
Unlike a brand that offers one single design in different colours, COSTWAY here covers U-shaped tempered glass, PE rattan weave, round industrial style, oval Scandinavian, sintered stone and a lift-top mechanism all on the same page. Six styles under one name is rare, and elsewhere a cost-conscious design choice narrows things down by price instead. What the six have in common: all stay under standard sofa seat height, between 45 and 60 cm. Variety inside one single brand is rarer than it looks, so the Viosimc coffee table page is worth a side-by-side read. For a brand that narrows the choice instead of widening it, the WOHNLING coffee tables page makes a useful comparison. Another catalogue worth opening beside this one is the Yaheetech coffee tables selection, built around similar styles at a comparable price.
The two-tier sintered stone table sits above the rest of the COSTWAY range in price, followed by the lift-top version for its pneumatic mechanism; the U-shaped tempered glass table stays the simplest and most affordable of the six.

Storage, material and upkeep at COSTWAY
Three of COSTWAY's six tables offer a shelf or storage compartment — the two-tier PE rattan model, the round industrial one and the sintered stone one — the other three, the U-shaped, the oval Scandinavian and the lift-top, rely on a bare top or hidden compartments. Sintered stone and tempered glass need the least upkeep against stains, while the PE rattan weave needs more careful dusting. Upkeep drives long-term satisfaction more than looks do, and the VOWNER coffee table range leans on surfaces that wipe clean in seconds. Upkeep habits differ from one brand to the next, and the WOLTU coffee tables range leans on materials that ask even less of you. Storage is handled quite differently at YITAHOME coffee tables, where closed compartments come as standard rather than as the exception.
For a living room that doubles as a dining spot, the lift-top version with its pneumatic system stays the only one of the six built for that dual use; the other five stay classic coffee tables, with no height adjustment.

Worth knowing
Frequently asked questions
Which COSTWAY table should you pick for eating in front of the TV?
The lift-top version is the only one of the six built for that use: its top rises to dining-table height via a pneumatic system.
Does the PE rattan weave withstand the weather?
These tables are designed for indoor use; prolonged exposure to outdoor damp damages PE rattan faster than use in an enclosed living room.
Does sintered stone withstand a hot cup of coffee placed directly on it?
No issue there, that's exactly its strength: it resists heat far better than an MDF or glass top, without leaving a mark.
Does the U-shaped table suit a living room with a robot vacuum?
Yes, its open shape with no central leg in the middle makes it easy for a robot to pass under the top, unlike a model with four close-together legs.
Does the lift-top mechanism work for life with no upkeep?
Like any pneumatic system, it loses some of its lift after several years of heavy use; avoid forcing it if the rise becomes slower.
