This Is The Best-Selling Coffee Table At West Elm

West Elm is a favorite furnishings and home accessories store among consumers, enjoying particular success as the "home décor retailer of choice" for the millennial crowd (via Vox). Founded by parent company Williams-Sonoma over two decades ago, the brand features products made by global artisans and local craftspeople with ties to the community surrounding individual stores, which has been an integral part of their growth.

Many of the products offer practicality in addition to aesthetics, such as the groovy bar cart, organic cotton sheets, and rattan storage basket featured in The Strategist. A coffee table is an additional item we expect to be functional while possessing great form. There are plenty of attractive options on West Elm's website, including round drums made of wood, metal, or concrete and recycled styrofoam. Plus, boxy burled rectangles, teetering glass and brass versions, and nesting pieces, to name a few. But there's one that seems to be a top selection across design blogs and review sites.

Appearing on West Elm's best sellers page, the industrial storage pop-up coffee table is a combination of practicality, style, and sustainability. It's available in two sizes (making it easier to reach the optimal coffee table-to-sofa ratio; per Real Homes, that's roughly 2/3 the length of the sofa) and is priced at $699 for the smaller and $849 for the larger. Further, the solid wood body comes in four finishes; whether raw mango, warm café, cerused white, or bold black, it's manufactured in a Fair-Trade Certified factory from sustainably sourced mango wood. The finishes that showcase the wood grain provide an appealing, rustic contrast to the metal legs.

Hidden features of this piece include storage and a lift-top function. Pop-Sugar describes the design as "incredibly smart and useful," and what's more, they believe the environmentally-friendly quality is an asset to the product. In fact, it was chosen by Forbes as the winner of the lift-top category in their Best Coffee Tables of 2022 round-up. The outlet likes this style for the way it makes snacking while lounging an effortless pastime, and they point to its capacity to work as a satellite home office situation. With so many rave reviews, it's no wonder why it's a best-seller.
