    How much money is too much money for a coffe table?

    bought a new coffee table today - growing up coffee tables were something you bought at auction or a garage sale for $5 or $10 - couldn't believe i dropped $900 on this one. Worst part is it's 6-8 weeks before it gets delivered too..

    Not a good investment.

        I've seen some wild coffee tables. I, personally, wouldn't spend more than $1500. So in my perspective, your purchase is just
        Trust Me...

        They wouldn't be in my sig if they didn't convert well!

          My coffee table was hand forged by a friend of mine.. Has forged leaves and its all petina and bronzed.. Cost me $600 worth of trade in tattoo art for it...

          So you didnt pay too too much, depends on if its something unique..

                    sounds like a decent price. coffee table is a centerpiece item for your den or main living area, best not to go cheap on an item of such visual focus.

                          it's a lot more stylish than this but this is the general idea

                                    that's kinda how i feel - but i'm told that's what the ottoman is for...... and apparently it feels better on the feet being soft leather than a hard table too......

                                      personally, i would never shell out $900 for a coffee table. Dinner table, yea. but not a coffee table.

                                      i spent just over $100 on the one i have, its an oak coffee table with a glass top. and i thought that was too much for it.

                                      to each their own though.

                                          900 is not outrageous but its not cheap either I would say a mid level one is about 500-600

                                              Yeah, as long as it was good quality/construction, I'd spend that much.

                                                that foldout thing is badass, i dont see why someone would need to eat at the table so bad though. it would be nice for a laptop stand though.

                                                  Not a good investment.

                                                                          To buy this in an antique shop you'd pay FAR more. I got mine from an estate sale that we went to.

                                                                          I have gotten pieces from late 1800's to 1960's that would be hundreds more from thrift stores, flea markets, second hand stores and private estate sales for next to nothing.

                                                                          New furniture is just garbage....

                                                                              but hey, i DO need a coffee table.........

                                                                                I think my last coffee table was $400+ bought 3 years ago. 2 years ago my son was on the ladder trying to change the speed of the ceiling fan, fell and the ladder took out huge chunks of wood on the table. I just tell everyone it's "distressed"

She also bought side tables for $200 to go with the expensive one, which are also sitting wrapped up in the shed!

                                                                                      In my opinion, she's stupid for doing this. I don't know what possessed her to spend that amount of money on a stupid table.
