Coffee Table Buying Guide — Sheesham Wood Centrepieces for Every Living Room

A coffee table is the centrepiece of the living room — the surface everyone gathers around. Choosing the right one shapes the entire feel of the space.

What Styles Does Kraft Store Offer?

Kraft Store's Coffee Tables are handcrafted from solid Sheesham wood in several distinct styles:

  • Gehrai and Uthai carved tables: Deep, traditional Chinioti-style carving covering the surface and legs. See our Chinioti Furniture guide for more on this craft.
  • Naqashi lacquer art tables: Hand-painted tabletop designs using the traditional Naqashi technique. Read about the craft in our Naqashi Art guide.
  • Hand-painted round tables: Individually painted, no two pieces alike.
  • Bubble Center Table: A more contemporary, organic solid wood design for modern interiors.

Round or Rectangular?

Round coffee tables suit smaller living rooms and create a softer, more conversational seating arrangement. They are also the traditional shape for Chinioti and Naqashi designs. Larger rectangular or square options work better with sectional sofas and bigger rooms.

How Much Carving Is Too Much?

This comes down to personal taste and the rest of your decor. A heavily carved Gehrai table is a statement piece best paired with simpler surrounding furniture. A hand-painted or lightly detailed table works well alongside other ornate pieces without competing for attention.

Pairing with Other Furniture

A Sheesham coffee table pairs naturally with Nesting Tables on the side, or a Mirror Frame on the wall behind the sofa. See our full Living Room Styling guide for a complete room plan.

All Kraft Store coffee tables are handcrafted in Pakistan. Cash on delivery available across Pakistan.
