You've typed "hoobro coffee table" because you're after a specific model from this brand. Honestly: it doesn't show up in our coffee table catalogue right now, and it's better to say so straight away than to have you circling this page for ten minutes for nothing. This kind of gap is common with brands that mainly sell office furniture or shelving: their living-room range stays thin, sometimes empty, on Amazon UK at any given moment. In its place, three tables cover the uses that most often drive a brand-name search like this one: the RIBE with a stone-effect tempered glass top from CONCEPT USINE, the square swivelling top with a lower shelf from en.casa, and the Phoenix lift-top from IDMarket. Each comes from a different manufacturer, with its own measurements and its own trade-off to know before ordering: a swivelling top doesn't do the same job as a lift-top, and the other way round. Our wider brand roundup lists other manufacturers if none of these three substitutes quite fit the bill.
CONCEPT USINE Table Basse RIBE Effet Pierre Plateau Verre 75x75 cm
75 cm x 75 cm x 35 cm · Beige
75 cm on each side for the RIBE, from CONCEPT USINE: the transparent tempered glass top mimics a stone effect in Beige, a finish the manufacturer describes as durable and easy to clean, sitting on a frame that stays discreet under a low sofa. With 75 cm of depth, it slots easily into an already-furnished living room without spilling over the armrests either side. CONCEPT USINE highlights how the tempered glass stands up to everyday knocks from crockery, which matters if you often set a plate or a glass down on it. The trade-off of the printed stone effect on the glass top: seen very closely, under raking light, the texture reads as a pattern rather than real material, unlike a reconstituted stone slab that keeps its grain from every angle.
[en.casa] Table Basse avec Plateau Carré Pivotant et Étagère Inférieur
76x76x38 cm · Effect Wood
76 cm by 76 cm for this square swivelling top in Effect Wood, from [en.casa]: the lower shelf adds a second storage level under the main top, for a design the manufacturer describes as modern and timeless, with clean lines and a neat finish. The upper top swivels on its axis, handy for turning a plate or a book towards you without getting up from the sofa, a detail few coffee tables at this price offer. At 38 cm high, it stays low and suits a living room with simple lines. The trade-off of the swivel mechanism: it doesn't like heavy items placed too close to the edge, which slows the rotation and can, over time, strain the central axis.
IDMarket, Table Basse Plateau relevable rectangulaire Phoenix Bois et
74.5D x 97.5W x 55.5H cm · Black
97.5 cm long for the Phoenix, the IDMarket rectangular lift-top table featured here, in Black with wood and metal-effect industrial finishes. The top lifts and slides towards you to work as a laptop or breakfast table, which brings the use close to that of a small dining table. The manufacturer plays up its industrial look, meant for successful get-togethers with friends, with storage space under the top for magazines or throws. The Phoenix's industrial style, with its exposed metal-effect finishes, can clash a little next to a very classic, pastel-toned living room: check it fits with your other furniture before ordering, even asking the seller for a photo of the real finish.
The RIBE, the en.casa and the Phoenix: three tops, three families
CONCEPT USINE plays the fixed-top card with the RIBE: transparent tempered glass mimicking a stone effect in beige, sitting on a frame that never moves and so needs no mechanical upkeep. Fixed frames like the RIBE never need folding away, unlike the collapsible tops built for smaller rooms. En.casa switches approach with its square swivelling top in a wood effect: the top rotates on its axis, with a lower shelf adding a second storage level under the main top. IDMarket goes further with the Phoenix: its lift-top in wood and metal-effect lifts and slides towards you, in that industrial style the manufacturer presents as versatile at a low price. Whichever top you prefer, a coffee table with an anthracite sofa still has to lift a deep grey seat rather than sink into it. Whichever mechanism wins, a coffee table with white tiled flooring underneath needs weight and warmth so the room doesn't feel clinical.
Three brands, three mechanisms, three uses: the RIBE stays decorative and fixed, the en.casa gains flexibility through its rotation, the Phoenix turns into a real work surface once lifted. None of the three combines all three functions at once, which makes the choice simpler once the main need is identified.

Tempered glass, wood effect or wood/metal finishes: the material changes everything
The tempered glass top of the RIBE, from CONCEPT USINE, is billed as a durable, easy-to-clean surface that copes with everyday knocks from crockery, with a stone-effect decor printed on the surface rather than a real mineral slab. The en.casa, in a wood effect, banks on clean lines and a neat finish that fit easily into an already-furnished living room, without the weight or upkeep of a solid top. Material choice extends to the rest of the room, and a coffee table with an oak TV unit works best when the two woods differ slightly.
The Phoenix from IDMarket, by contrast, embraces an industrial look, with wood and metal-effect finishes meant, according to the manufacturer, to give a room character rather than blend quietly into the decor. Before choosing between the three, ask yourself whether you want a table that disappears or one that stands out at the centre of the room.

The gap between sofa and table, a measurement people forget
The RIBE and the en.casa take up almost the same floor space, 75 by 75 cm for one, 76 by 76 for the other: leave at least 40 cm between the edge of your sofa and the edge of the table so you can move around without shifting it every time. The Phoenix, longer at 97.5 cm, needs extra clearance once its top is lifted and slid forward. Once spacing is sorted, colour comes back: a coffee table with an off-white sofa needs enough depth to avoid looking washed out.
All three tables stay under the usual sofa seat height, between 45 and 60 cm, avoiding the too-tall-table effect that gets in the way of setting a glass down. The Phoenix exceeds this limit once its top is lifted, moving closer to a small dining table.

A living room that often has guests: swivelling, lifting or stone effect
If your living room regularly gathers several people around one surface, the en.casa's swivelling mechanism makes real sense: it avoids passing an object hand to hand by simply turning it towards the next person. IDMarket's Phoenix, meanwhile, is aimed more at the get-togethers with friends the manufacturer mentions, with its top lifting to serve as an improvised work surface. Under all that, the floor still shows, and a coffee table with dark-coloured flooring needs a base pale enough to stay visible.
The RIBE, with no mechanism to operate, suits a living room used solo or as a couple better, where the stone-effect top plays a purely decorative, occasional role. Also think about circulation once sofa and armchairs are in place: the Phoenix, once its top is deployed forward, needs more clearance than the RIBE or the en.casa at rest.

What the CONCEPT USINE, en.casa and IDMarket product pages reveal
CONCEPT USINE highlights the toughness and easy cleaning of the RIBE's tempered glass, an argument that matters for anyone who often sets down a plate or glass. En.casa stresses clean lines and a neat finish meant to fit any type of interior, a more neutral positioning than IDMarket's. Manufacturer claims aside, the floor decides visibility, and a coffee table with light-coloured flooring needs contrast if it isn't to vanish completely.
IDMarket, on the other hand, embraces a bold industrial style and speaks directly of successful get-togethers with friends for its Phoenix: a different commercial angle from the other two, aimed less at discretion than at atmosphere. An easy-to-clean top like the RIBE's is a good sign for a household with young children, while a swivelling or lifting mechanism is worth checking in reviews before assuming it will hold up over time.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hoobro make coffee tables in the UK?
On Amazon UK, no model from this brand appears in our catalogue at the time this page was written. The three tables listed above come from other manufacturers and cover the same use searched for under this brand name.
Is a swivelling top fragile over time?
The rotating mechanism copes with everyday use without particular trouble, but a load placed too close to the edge slows the movement down: always centre your items on the top rather than at the edge to protect the central axis.
Is the lift-top suitable for eating in front of the television?
Yes, once lifted it reaches a height close to a standard dining table, which avoids leaning forward for every bite and makes an in-front-of-the-screen meal more comfortable than with a fixed coffee table.
Do these three tables need any special tools to assemble?
All three models go together with the tools supplied in the box, no drill or extra purchase needed: still allow a quiet moment, as multilingual instructions can be dense to follow at first glance.
Does the stone-effect glass clean like ordinary glass?
Yes, a microfibre cloth is enough for everyday finger marks or dust; just avoid abrasive products, which would wear the printed film faster than a plain glass without a surface pattern.
