Merax deliberately covers broad ground across the six references gathered here: a duo of round, glossy marble-effect tables, a lift-top offered in two wood colours, an oval table with woven rattan doors, and two twin tables with LED lighting in black and white. The common thread here lies more in the variety of uses than in one single, defined brand style, each reference answering a different need, from enclosed storage to the lit-up mood of an evening with friends at home. The downside of such a varied catalogue comes down to one useful rule worth remembering before buying: two tables with similar names can have quite different dimensions or finishes, worth checking reference by reference before confirming an order online.
This set of 2 round Merax coffee tables measures 70 cm in diameter, reaching 45 cm in height, with a glossy marble-effect pattern and a sturdy metal frame, in a Gold and Marble finish. Built from metal and thick MDF, they nest together or split up into two corners of the room. But this thick MDF handles a concentrated impact less well than genuine natural stone.
This lift-top Merax coffee table measures 110 cm in length by 55.5 cm in width, reaching 40 cm once raised, with curved wooden sides, in a Colour du Wood Dark finish. Its adjustable top offers versatile use for working, relaxing or entertaining, with an extendable shelf underneath. But this generous storage space stays open, with no door to hide its contents.
The same lift-top Merax coffee table with curved wooden sides, but this time in a noticeably lighter Wood finish: 110 cm in length by 55.5 cm in width, reaching 40 cm. Same open, extendable shelf as the darker version, with the same practical benefits. However, it keeps the same limit of open, unenclosed storage against everyday dust.
This oval Merax coffee table measures 100 cm in length by 50 cm in width, reaching 40 cm, with a natural wood look and sliding rattan doors, in a 0927 Oval finish. A central compartment rounds out the practical storage behind its rattan doors. But this rattan needs to avoid prolonged contact with damp to keep it from weakening over time.
This Merax LED side table measures 105 cm in length by 55 cm in width, reaching 32.5 cm, with a glossy black top fitted with drawers, in a Black finish. This glossy black gives a lit-up look that adds character to any room. But this glossy black picks up fingerprints noticeably faster than a classic matte finish.

The same Merax LED side table with drawers, but this time in a White finish: 105 cm in length by 55 cm in width, reaching 32.5 cm. This glossy white gives off more light than the black version, brightening a dim room more. However, it needs just as regular upkeep against the same visible fingerprints.

Such a wide catalogue answers very different needs, and this material comparison narrows it down by surface alone.

Worth knowing
Frequently asked questions
Do the two round tables in the Merax set work fine used separately?
Yes, they nest together in a set configuration or stand apart in two different corners of the living room depending on your needs at the time and the space available around the sofa.
Does the Merax lift-top really work for sitting down to work?
Yes, once raised to height it comes close to a comfortable seated work surface, with the extendable shelf underneath for keeping everyday items within reach.
Does the rattan on the oval table hold up well to living-room humidity?
It tolerates a normal, dry living-room environment, but avoid placing wet objects directly against the sliding doors to prevent premature weakening.
Should you choose black or white for an LED table in a dim room?
The glossy white finish reflects more ambient light and the built-in LED lighting, a better choice for a living room that already gets little natural light during the day.
Do the drawers on the Merax LED tables lock for extra security?
No, they're classic open drawers, meant for simple storage rather than securing valuable items with a dedicated lock.
