sugodesign goes for a more elaborate style than average, with tops in less conventional shapes and legs that step away from a simple square of straight metal. The brand targets anyone who wants a coffee table that also plays a decorative role, not just a functional one. The trade-off of this aesthetic approach is a more noticeable price gap between the entry-level model and the most elaborate piece in the selection. The four models gathered on this page range from the most understated to the most visually bold. Each deserves a close look before choosing, as styles differ so much from one model to another. Budget remains the first sorting criterion, even before the top's shape. This range suits a first purchase just as much as an already well-set-up living room looking for a bolder piece. Here's the detail of each model.
IDMarket, Table Basse Plateau relevable Convertible Tara Blanc et Bois
100 x 100 x 45 · White
This IDMarket model, the Tara table with a lift-top convertible into a dining table, stays at the lower end on price, at around £60, with a White and wood finish. The top, 100 by 100 for 45 in folded height, stays sturdy but less visually elaborate than the mechanism on the higher-tier models, which doesn't stop it from handling everyday use without a hitch. The finish stays plain, far from the bolder style of the pricier models on the page. It's a good starting point for discovering the brand without immediately investing in the most elaborate model.
IDMarket, Table Basse Plateau relevable Ronde Alix Bois et Noir
70x70x55 · Wood Light
The IDMarket Alix table, round and lifting, 70 across for 55 in folded height, stands out with a Wood Light and black metal finish that clearly plays a decorative role, at around £70, a step up on price. Its ultra-trendy loft look holds up well day to day, but its round top makes it harder to move than a lighter rectangular model. For a living room where the table rarely moves, that's not really a drawback. The finish holds up well over time, without wearing prematurely under everyday objects. It's often the compromise chosen by anyone torn between understated and bold style.
IBF Table Basse Rectangulaire Bois Métal Industrielle 120cm Chêne Noir
120 cm · Oak Black
This rectangular wood-and-metal IBF table in an industrial style tops the price range, at around £140, for the whole sugodesign range shown here, with a Oak Black finish that clearly plays a decorative role. It also turns into a small desk, a use the other models on the page don't offer. This bold style, though, doesn't suit every interior: in an already very busy living room, it can create an impression of visual clutter. For a more streamlined room, it's the piece that draws the eye instead. Two people are enough for assembly, longer than on the simpler models.
Sold at around £40, this sugodesign C-shaped side table on castors remains the least expensive of the four tables shown on this page, with a plain Walnut shade. Its C shape, 56 by 38 for 38 in height, fits perfectly over the sofa cushion while also sliding underneath once pushed back, a use the full-top models don't allow. The trade-off of this price: a simpler finish, far from the visible craftsmanship on the pricier models on the page. For a first purchase or a secondary room, it remains a sensible choice. It's still a good gateway into the brand's world.
Convertible, round and lifting, industrial or C-shaped: four different uses
This page brings together four different manufacturers rather than a single range: IDMarket's Tara table with a lift-top convertible into a dining table, IDMarket's Alix table, round and lifting with a loft look, IBF's rectangular wood-and-metal table that also turns into a small desk, and the sugodesign C-shaped side table on castors. Four different mechanisms sit on one page here, while the marbled-look models elsewhere group by finish instead.
This aesthetic choice suits anyone wanting a coffee table that gets noticed, not just a functional piece among others. Each of these four tables plays a specific role, from the convertible meal to the improvised desk.
The trade-off of this diversity: it's hard to compare all four on a common basis, as the uses differ so much from one model to the next.

The Tara table, from living room to dining table
IDMarket's Tara table stands out for its lift-top that converts it into a proper dining table, a use none of the other three models on the page offer.
Its white and wood finish stays sturdy but less visually elaborate than the mechanism on the higher-tier models, which doesn't stop it from handling everyday use without a hitch.
It's a good starting point for discovering the brand without immediately investing in a more elaborate piece like the Alix or the IBF table.

The Alix table, round and lifting with a loft look
The Alix table, round and lifting, stands out with a light wood and black metal finish that clearly plays a decorative role, with an ultra-trendy loft look.
Its round top makes it harder to move than a lighter model like the Tara. For a living room where the table rarely moves, that's not really a drawback.
It's often the compromise chosen by anyone torn between the Tara's understatement and the IBF table's bold industrial style.

The IBF table, from living room to home-office desk
The IBF rectangular wood-and-metal table, in an industrial style with a black oak finish, also turns into a small desk, a use the other models on the page don't offer.
This bold style doesn't suit every interior: in an already very busy living room, it can create an impression of visual clutter. For a more streamlined room, it's the piece that draws the eye instead.
Two people are enough for assembling the IBF table, longer than for the Tara table or the sugodesign side table.

The sugodesign C-shaped side table
The sugodesign side table on castors, C-shaped, fits perfectly over the sofa cushion while also sliding underneath once pushed back, a use the full-top models on the page don't allow.
The trade-off of its accessible price: a simpler finish, far from the visible craftsmanship on the Alix or the IBF table.

Assembly and handling depending on the model
The Tara table and the sugodesign side table assemble alone without difficulty, with the tools supplied in the box.
The Alix, round and lifting, like the IBF table, are heavier and generally call for two people to assemble and for any later moving.
The finished result doesn't shift once in place, needing no follow-up after the first few weeks of use.

Comparing the four models against each other
The sugodesign C-shaped side table remains the least expensive of the four: its shape and its castors make it a different use to the convertible Tara.
The round, lifting Alix sits a step above, ahead of the IBF, which tops this selection's price with its dual living-room and desk use.
Style, more or less bold, then separates the models depending on your living room: the Tara and the sugodesign table stay more understated than the Alix or the IBF.

What this selection doesn't offer
Each of these four manufacturers commits to a specific use, which rules out certain wishes: no very large fixed top designed for a corner living room, as the Tara and the IBF instead focus on converting into a dining table or a desk.
The shades also stay fairly classic, between white and wood for the Tara, black oak for the IBF, light wood for the Alix and walnut for the sugodesign side table.
For a very large fixed living room, better to look at another range on the site. On the ground of dual use, this selection remains hard to match.

Worth knowing
Frequently asked questions
Does the sugodesign style suit every living room?
It mainly suits already fairly streamlined interiors. In a very busy room, better to choose the most understated model in the range. The bolder style doesn't pair well with too much decoration around it.
What's the difference between the cheapest and priciest models?
The gap mainly comes down to finish and how elaborate the legs are. The pricier model offers a more polished visual result. The basic function stays comparable between the two, though.
Is the densest top hard to move?
Yes, it stays heavier than the simpler models in the range. This causes no problem if the table stays fixed in the living room. Planning to be two for an occasional move remains more sensible.
How do I care for an elaborate leg?
A soft cloth is enough for everyday upkeep. The most carved areas sometimes take a little longer to dust properly. Avoid abrasive products over time.
Which model should I choose for a first purchase?
The one with the gentlest price in the range remains a sensible starting point. The basic structure doesn't really differ from the pricier models on the page. Only style and finish really change from one model to the next.
Do I need to be several people to assemble the priciest model?
Yes, its greater weight makes assembling with two people more comfortable. Assembling alone stays possible but takes longer. Once assembled, the table doesn't shift.
Do these tables cope with intensive daily use?
Yes, all four models withstand normal use well. The densest top copes better with a spread-out load than the simpler models. Classic use causes no particular trouble.
Does a more elaborate design reduce the usable top surface?
A little, on the models with the most sculpted shapes. The difference stays minor for everyday use. For maximum flat surface, the most understated model in the range remains the most efficient.
