defever I'm not a designer but I don't think the height will be an issue if the table is put where your current one is. Personally, I'd pull everything in a little bit -- the table looks like a long reach from the sofa.

Darzy I think you could be right about being too high. Do you have a picture of the coffee table? What a wonderful room! Do you like the tufted ottoman look? I think your coffee table idea could be a good choice too with the right size.

decoenthusiaste It will look a lot like the end tables, so pull them out like a coffee table and see how you feel about it. Key is to have it be 18" from the sofa so it can be reached by those sitting there yet still leave navigation room.

treneil They height of the coffee table shouldn't be higher than the seat cushions. Further it has to be of a certain scale to match the seating area. The ottoman picture above has great width and height and will make the room look really inviting. Your existing piece is too small for the space.

lindacahn Here are 3 pictures of the possible coffee table - all taken at the store. The pictures aren't very good, esp'ly b/c it's hard to photograph a table made largely of glass.

Darzy Yes, I think the table is too high. If you like the mirror look, I think this style would look nice with your end tables. And, I think you have the space to put two of these together! But, my favorite is the big ottoman choice.

decoenthusiaste Your place is so spacious, I think you could use a more grounded table. Usually glass ones are advised when space is at a premium and the illusion of spaciousness they create is desired. The ottoman Darzy posted, topped with an elegant silver coffee service would be magnificent in your room!

treneil Just my thoughts. you won't notice the height because of the glass. you will only really see the shelving below so that should be fine. The table needs to be about the same width as the couch to make it feel balanced in the room See how the ottoman is the same width as the lounge. I can't tell from the pictures whether this table does this. The gold in the legs is picked up in your room by the 2 lamps and picture on wall. However you will have to pick up the mirror/glass in two or three other areas in the room to make it feel part of the room design.

Darzy Good points treneil. Not exactly the same width as the couch, but balanced for sure.

karelina Lovely room! I'm sure whatever you pick will look just fine. I agree with most others, the ottoman fits best.

Wow Great Place How lucky are you to have a living room big enough to house TWO pianos! Wow!

My first thought is that yes, a 25" high coffee table will feel much too high, as your chairs in particular look on the low side, and a too-high coffee table might make you feel like you are sitting at a child-size table for dinner!
I would actually suggest going with a large round piece, maybe 42" or even 48" round, if that size works. I think this would work well with the curvy lines of your sofa, and with a grouping like this that is somewhat spaced apart, a round table allows more people to be within reach of the table to set down a glass or reach for an hors d'oeuvre. The piece could be an ottoman or a table, but I would keep it under 20" high.
