    I just want a simple 20-22 inch rectangular black coffee table that is around $50, but I can't find it anywhere. I've already tried walmart, target, ikea, amazon, and overstock. Anybody know where I can find one???


    This below is exactly what I want, but the height is 17.6 inches....I knew I shouldn't have bought a high sofa!

    I currently have the light oak version of this. It's 20 inches, but it just doesn't look modern enough for my sofa/loveseat.

    I heard there's a coffee table book...about coffee tables. You should probably look for it.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but I would actually read the post before replying in the future. I'm not trying to "learn" more about different styles of tables, I just wanted to know if anybody knows a website/place that sells a basic rectangular coffee table that's above 20 inches.

    Build your own. That first table is simple enough. Then you could make matching end tables too.

    Actually, he's dropping a Seinfeld-ism...from Episode #___ where Kramer creates a book about coffee tables that is actually a coffee table itself.

    Some posters just can't resist putting in Seinfeld replies to posts.

    Honestly and sadly, it's the first thing I thought of when I saw your thread title as well. That is how deeply Seinfeld is embedded in our brains. There's a lot of us like that out there. We should have our own planet.

    I thought about that, but I wouldn't know who to contact or how much it would cost. If I can get both done for $80, I'd definitely do that instead.

    Yes, but it's 17.6 inches. If that table was 20 inches, then it would be perfect. My sofa is too high for a 17 inch coffee table.

    I heard there is a book out there about coffee tables with pictures, and it even has fold out legs so the book turns into a small coffee table. :D

    If you're contacting someone, I don't think it would count as making your own.

    "Building my own" in terms of customizing it and getting exactly what I want...just letting somebody else do the work. I have no skills in this department, so I wouldn't know what to do.
