Hi, I'm trying to decide on coffee & end table materials as well. I'm thinking about maybe one end-table in glass, don't want everything to match and too much glass to me provides a "cold" look. Besides wood/glass, I'm considering stone or composite tops with metal base. Saw a nice one (floor model on sale) at Domain two weekends ago (no one there said anything about Chapter 11), it looked a lot like limestone, but was actually a stone composite. The sales person mentioned that it was easily stained & the iron base was a bit too ornate for us anyway, but it gave us the idea to have something custom made, using limestone or a more practical composite that looks like limestone along with a simpler base--will be doing some research this weekend to see if there's a custom shop that makes them. I'm also planning on taking a look at the "natural steel" tables that Room & Board offers. If you go on-line to their web site, you'll see a number of base table styles with choices on table tops, natural stone, composite stone, glass, etc. Prices seem pretty reasonable, not sure yet about quality and how it actually looks "in person". Lastly, re: wood, one furniture brand for wood tables that I'll be taking a closer look at is Harden, I believe that their products are all solid wood so they can be refinished down the line. Nice style choices with this manufacturer too. Maybe someone else on the board can speak better than I as to the quality. Michelle

Why yes, I does :). I have a black coffee table with a lot of brown in the room. Leather couch/chairs and wooden tables and miscellaneous pieces like the tv shelf. My table is from Thomasville. Here's the advertisement version: I've got a couple of pictures that show it in my room, though not all that well. Here they are: Another angle: I think it all works fine. I will add that the wood accent pieces in the LR tend to the tobacco/darker range. I don't have light wood or leather in there. Hope this helps, Ann

It's crazy how one thing leads to another and then another and before you know it, this project gets totally out of hand and so confusing LOL!! Your place is beautiful! Love your couch and chairs. I agree with so many of the posts, except for Cpaul!! No need to be rude! A larger picture rather than a gallery above the couch would have more punch, IMO and maybe do the picture gallery over the sideboard. Coffee table you picked will also look great. I would also recommend trying to square off the chairs instead of having them at an angle as someone suggested. Curious to see how that would look, I would love to see some cushions on the couch to compliment the colour of the chairs. Also, I love your cabinet/sideboard but I would glam it up with crystal knobs and also add some glitz items on the top, such as a white vase, glass candle holders or some white/grey small pots with succulents, maybe in a tray. I also like the idea suggested of heavier/fuller curtains. If you're a sewer, you could line them to give them more weight. Of course, nothing is carved in stone. At the end of the day, it's your place and so long as you love it that's all that matters. Also, enjoy the process!! Looking forward to more pics.

But I am looking for some black jute baskets to put my extra couch throws in. I know I want black accents so maybe those coffee tables would be good. I’m a Libra so I’m VERY indecisive 😭
