So we needed a couple of coffee tables: what we saw when we entered the furniture salon

Every house must have a piece of furniture, which has been called a coffee table since Soviet times in Russia. Now it evokes nostalgia and the functionality of the coffee table is at a fair distance from the name.

So we needed a couple of coffee tables - one in the living room to put a cup of tea, a glass of wine, or just a bowl of sweets by the sofa. And the second is in the office, where there is only a computer table and the sofa does not have a table on which you can put some little things.

Having entered the furniture store, we saw several interesting options, but the prices for them were simply exorbitant.

A model on a metal carved stand would fit into our living room, but its price is 36 thousand rubles. To be honest, it is quite comparable to the price of a sofa.

The second table in the same salon is a bit gloomy, but more functional, with a shelf and on wheels. Rather, it is a serving table. The price of such a thing is 17 thousand rubles.

But when I went further, I saw a whole set of coasters that looked just wonderful - warm, bright, very cozy. It's a shame that we don't have a country-style room in our house that these tables would fit!

They sunk into my heart, and although the price is very high - the smallest one costs 15 thousand rubles, I might have decided to buy. But they didn't fit the style.

A round piece of furniture made of black glass on "golden" legs would fit the living room as well as possible. But 21 thousand rubles, this is simply unrealistic for such a product.

And we headed from the salon, where we took a walk with pleasure, to the Leroy Merlin budget shopping store. On the website I saw an advertisement that there is an exhibition of exactly what we need. And they were not mistaken.

This almost weightless table, which does not take up much space, which can be easily carried anywhere, turned out to be completely in the style that we need. Honestly, I took two, because I decided that for 1,390 rubles such a stylish thing would not be in sight by the evening. And where to attach it - I'll find. We will varnish the table top to make it shiny.

Here is another copy from the exhibition, also black, but already on legs, of a traditional form in the style of the 60s of the 20th century. As a child, my parents had a very similar one, only quadrangular.

And his yellow brother was our next purchase, he exactly matched the color of the yellow curtains in the office.

True, the legs are a little lighter than the furniture, but this is not scary, the tabletop distracts all attention and this is not striking.

And one more copy from the exhibition, unprepossessing, but functional - a table with a tray.

So, for a small price, a budget store found what you need and is no worse than in an expensive salon.
