Can I use a storage bench as a coffee table in my living room?

The functionality your coffee table offers depends on your needs. If you're looking for a multifunctional coffee table you should look for coffee tables with additional shelves, drawers or compartments if you need them to double up for storage. Also you should look for trunks and ottomans that can offer lots of storage. In Some tables they have surfaces that can be raised for working or eating so you should check it out.

I personally think that every living room needs a coffee table. It seems to tie the room together and serves a purpose for magazines, remotes, little snacks when you watch TV, etc. I just think they make a living room look finished. If you have kind I'll have to go with a round coffee table so that there are no sharp corners so your kids won't get hurt.

The size of your coffee table depends on the size of your living room and the setup of your living room furniture. You can find the right coffee table by measuring exactly how much space you have in your living room and what's your table's main purpose.

The textbook coffee table shape is rectangular although furniture designers create endless variations on this shape, in which the table surface is just one component. You should consider how you'll be using it. If you frequently entertain guests, you may want to consider a circular or oval coffee table. Round furniture pieces tend to be better at gathering groups of people, and they are easier to maneuver around safely.

There are soooo many. I personally have 2benches in my kid's room and its great for storage, however the kids do notreally sit on it, mainly the dolls and teddy bears - so I hope they enjoy it...any way, I recommend getting the "divided to bins" benches so not all the toysand stuff will mix inside and you'll have to dig to find something.

All ottomans are considered living room tables because oftheir use and dimensions. Therefore, anottoman is great idea for decorating your living room, if that is youraesthetic.

I'm not sure there are any Victorian storagebenches. All the Victorian benches I'm familiar with have no storage box. Maybeyou can try this, but I'm not sure it's enough storage room: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Victoria-Small-Storage-Bench/2119898/product.html
