I like Noguchi coffee tables with sectionals the shape works very well

Here is a glass top with a wood base. Why do you require end tables? If you just need a place to set down a drink consider complementary drum tables instead. There is so little room for end tables.

I like both of the coffee tables. Solves the finish problem for the metal legs.

I really do need one end table for a lamp. That's why I was thinking about a rectangular one. I could put the lamp at the back and still have room for my book and a glass or coffee cup, my glasses, etc.

What do you think of something like this?

Or what about nesting tables?

I like the metal/glass or even metal/wood like in the picture of the last comment. I would do brushed gold, it just doesn’t go with the rest of the room. The metal ties in the lighting behind the couch as well.

Some options

I love folding tables. Easy to store, transport and clean.

Thank you all. I think I have a much better idea of what I should be looking for.

A living room without a beautiful coffee table at its centre is a lot like putting on a gorgeous evening outfit and then skipping on the makeup. It simply looks unfinished. So, make sure to pick a coffee table that will tie the space together in a nice way. Again, consider the overall style you want your living room to have, and pick an appropriate design. For instance, a rustic space can benefit from a raw wooden coffee table made of reclaimed wood with dents and signs of distress that give it a beautiful worn-out vibe. If you want to make a small living room appear bigger, a glass coffee table can create the illusion of more space. And if you need a coffee table to put the clutter at bay in a minimalist Scandinavian interior, opt for a design that features drawers for storage. I find mine coffee table at this website https://www.schots.com.au/furniture/reclaimed-timber-furniture/coffee-tables.html they have in a range of sizes, shapes and different material finishes.
