Finding the Coffee Table to Make Your Room Yours

Coffee tables are associated with the living room, but eBay carries coffee tables for the bedroom, hallway, playroom, or laundry room. What does your home need?

Should I buy a used coffee table?

Used coffee tables can offer much of the same style and functionality that a new table has to offer. Consider the photos posted, the product description, and the purpose your table has to serve before buying. Consider that material matters when it comes to coffee tables. Glass tables and painted tables are most likely to show undesirable signs of wear. Stained wood tables are more likely to stand the test of time.

Sometimes, used coffee tables bring with them an extra charm. Antique tables come to mind, but consider the character added to a room by a well-loved solid wood table or a '70s piece.

Cheap coffee tables that have been through some use, but are otherwise perfect for your style, may be a matter of easy DIY restoration. See the product's details and materials to determine if you can tackle the project, or keep looking for a used coffee table that's living-room ready.

How to search eBay for coffee tables fitted to your needs

To find the perfect coffee table for sale on eBay, the site has provided search filtration tools in the left toolbar of the page. Search by room if your decorating taste leans traditional or by shape and color if you dislike conventional limits. eBay carries dozens of styles of coffee tables, too many to list in one simple sidebar. Click "see more" to view all available styles and find exactly what you're looking for.

And, as listed below—don't forget to use the budgeting tool! The "Price" filter helps you find coffee tables exactly within your price range without digging through the rest.

Cheap to antique: How to get the most value out of eBay coffee tables

If you're just starting out or trying to live below your means, eBay has coffee tables available for modest prices. Use the search tools in the left toolbar to enter your preferences, but consider searching only used or refurbished tables to find cheap coffee table deals.

Maybe, instead, you're a collector of antiques. To find antique glass or solid wood coffee tables on eBay, select the checkbox for "Antique" under "Style" in the left search tool column. Feel free to combine this with other search terms, too—there's more than one kind of antique table. For the most value per price, look for items listed at low prices from reliable eBay users.

If you intend to restore and resell a table, knowing the maker and year when you buy can help estimate value and make it easier to sell to knowledgeable collectors. In all, the more information a product description can provide, the better for you as a buyer. Antique coffee table sets are particularly desirable to the right customer.

Whatever you're after, use the price tool to enter your exact budget and immediately find coffee tables for sale in your price range.
