The right coffee table anchors a living room; the wrong size either crowds the sofa or leaves the room feeling empty. The Property Masters makes custom coffee tables, side tables, console tables and nesting sets in Dubai — sized to your sofa configuration and room proportions, in solid wood, veneer, stone or metal, and finished to your interior palette. Each piece is made to order and delivered ready to place.
Custom Tables — Coffee, Side, Console and Nesting
Coffee tables
The coffee table sits in front of your sofa — so its dimensions need to relate to the sofa, not to a catalogue measurement:
- Size — as a general guide, a coffee table should be roughly two-thirds the length of the sofa it faces, and approximately 40–45 cm in height to align with standard sofa seat height. We discuss proportions at the consultation and build to your confirmed dimensions.
- Shape — rectangular, square, round, oval or an organic free-form shape; the right choice depends on your sofa configuration and room layout.
- Round coffee tables — useful in tighter rooms and with curved or sectional sofas; no sharp corners in a family living room.
- Coffee table with storage — a lower shelf, a drawer, or a lift-top mechanism for concealed storage; practical in Dubai apartments where storage is at a premium.
- Nesting tables — two or three tables that stack under each other; useful for entertaining when you need extra surface, stowed when you do not.
Side tables
- Bedside tables — the most common use; sized to the height of your mattress and the width of the space beside the bed. See also our beds and headboards page for integrated headboard-and-bedside units.
- Sofa end tables — beside a sofa arm or chair; typically taller and narrower than a bedside table.
- Accent tables — a small decorative table placed at a landing or corner; often a statement material or form.
Console tables
Console tables are long, narrow tables used against a wall — at an entry hall, behind a sofa, or in a dining room:
- Entry hall console — a statement arrival piece; often paired with a mirror above.
- Behind-sofa console — fills the gap between a floating sofa and the wall; provides a surface for lamps and objects.
- Sideboard / buffet — a lower, wider console with drawers and doors used in a dining room or living room for storage and display.
Materials and top options
- Solid timber (oak, walnut, ash) — the warmest, most natural look; each piece unique. Kiln-dried for Dubai's AC environment. Oil, wax or lacquer finish.
- Veneer on engineered core — real wood grain on a stable substrate; more economical than solid timber for larger tops.
- Stone and marble tops — a premium option for a coffee or console table; stunning visual presence. Stone adds significant weight — structural framing must account for this.
- Sintered stone (porcelain) — an engineered stone alternative; extremely hard, heat-resistant, scratch-resistant; the right choice for a high-use coffee table in a family home.
- Metal frames and bases — powder-coated steel or brushed brass/gold-tinted aluminium; a contemporary industrial or glam aesthetic depending on the finish.
- Combination — a timber or stone top on a metal frame is one of the most popular custom table combinations.
Finish and detailing
- Natural oil/wax — most natural feel; requires periodic maintenance.
- Hardwax oil — durable, water-resistant mat finish; good for tables that see daily use.
- Lacquer — harder surface coat; more resistant to spills; slightly less natural in appearance.
- Custom colour stain — tint the timber to your interior palette before sealing.
What Affects the Cost of a Custom Table
- Size — a large dining-room console or a generous round coffee table takes more material than a compact side table.
- Material — solid timber and stone tops cost more than veneer; metal bases add fabrication cost.
- Complexity — storage mechanisms, drawers and lift-top systems add to the build.
- Finish — a hand-applied oil finish and a machine-applied lacquer have different labour profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size coffee table do I need for my sofa?
A useful rule of thumb: the coffee table should be roughly two-thirds the length of the sofa it faces, and about 40–45 cm in height to align with a standard sofa seat. Leaving 40–45 cm of clearance between sofa and table gives comfortable leg room. Because we build to order, we confirm the exact dimensions to your sofa measurements before production.
Can you make a marble or stone-top coffee table?
Yes. Stone and marble tops are one of our most-requested premium options for coffee tables and consoles. We work with natural stone and with sintered stone (porcelain) — which is harder and more scratch-resistant than natural marble; a practical choice for a high-use family living room. Stone adds significant weight, so the base structure is designed accordingly.
Can you make a coffee table with hidden storage?
Yes. A lower shelf, side drawer or lift-top mechanism (the top opens on hinges to reveal storage inside) are all options we build into custom coffee tables. Popular in Dubai apartments where every storage opportunity matters.
What is the difference between a console table and a sideboard?
A console table is typically tall, narrow and wall-mounted or freestanding against a wall — used for display and surface purposes in an entry hall or behind a sofa. A sideboard (or buffet) is lower and wider, with drawers and doors, used for storage and display in a dining room or living room. We make both to measure.
How much does a custom coffee table cost in Dubai?
Custom tables are priced by size, material and complexity. A simple solid-wood coffee table costs less than a stone-top table with a fabricated metal base and built-in storage. We quote every piece free after a consultation. All prices subject to +5% UAE VAT.
