Simple. Get a coffee table with movable ottomans such as the one in the picture below.

That's a great idea, or a round coffee table for the sectional and a footstool for the chair.

I have yet to find one of those (table with ottomans) except in pictures!

The ottoman coffee table looks like a good idea.

What about an extendable one?

Since the chair swivels, feet would be away from any table. Square table would be off center. Moveable objects would be all in the way. Put your feet on the furniture like I do.

I might be tempted to get two clean-lined ottomans on casters than could be broken apart or pushed together as necessary. Perhaps with storage.

Linked below (no affiliation) is another coffee table ottoman set. The quality might be an issue.

How about two 2' x 2' (ish) square ottomans instead of one table. Then just make sure you have end tables at either end of the sectional so you have spots to put drinks, etc., down.

This coffee table with two nesting tables is DwellStudio Avedon.

I really like the idea that sueb20 proposed. Here is a picture from one of my Houzz ideabooks:

Some cocktail ottomans from Overstock. Some of the legged ottomans are available in chrome also.

Bev, I know that's what we talked about originally, and we're still intrigued by it, but what size? Are you suggesting square or rectangle? What color/fabric? We obviously already have a lot of leather, but I think fabric might be a bad choice for us, because of spills and feet.

We could get one custom made, if we knew what size/material/base to go with. We don't want to make another mistake like we made with the dining chairs (the ones you don't like, and neither do we!!)

For those who don't know, the picture Bev posted is our actual living room showing the sectional, rug and chair, and media cabinet, all of which are new and staying -- everything else is "up for grabs".

I think the square one, in white leather, would look great. Hmmm I wonder if two squares would work? That way you have the extra depth and length.

sj, who makes that swivel? I'm just starting to look at them, have found a couple that might work,but yours looks intriguing!

OK I have to admit I like the coffee table you have currently. I think bringing the wood finish over to all that leather was good move. What you appear to require is flexibility for the way you use the space.

Why not keep the coffee table and simply add a few patterned upholstered cubes? No more blue. Use shade of the taupe in your rug. Either have cubes upholstered and use the same fabric for your accent pillow, or add something like this cube upholstered in cube fabric.

This way you can move the cubes where you need them and it can be additional seating when required. If you size them correctly, you might be able to slide half of the cube under the edge of your coffee table and have them a bit out of the way.

I love these little moveable stools and in fact this whole roomâ¦(sans the faux painting). I've seen those little stools around, I think maybe Ethan Allen has them and I'm pretty sure the Houzz online store.

Here's a link to the above stools. You can get them in any fabric or leather with nailhead trim to match. There are several of the tufted type of square coffee table type ottomans as well in the link. Good luck! Your living room is beautiful.

I do love your current table, and the warmth the wood brings. Maybe you could go with one of the extendable wood tables that Oly posted, and toss a throw pillow on top when you put your feet up?

Funny, the current table is a piece of junk (as far as construction goes) we bought at a furniture rental store when we moved and sold /gave away all our old furniture. I do understand that you all like the look of wood, which is a great start. (The particular table is actually too high for the sofa seat height, and I think if we do go with a round wood table it should be a little larger than the current one).

Lori, the swivel chair is Roche Bobois, and it is very comfortable (an extravagance to be sure).

This has definitely made me rethink the size, shape and materials we'll go for, so it's been a great help - thank you all.
