If you are looking for a new coffee table I urge you to reconsider. Stop for a moment and think about what a coffee table has to offer. Now think about what an ottoman tray has to offer. Now compare the pros and cons of both options. Which one comes out on top? Not in the mood to stop and think about all the benefits of both? Do not worry as this article will give you all the reasons to throw out the possibility of a table and choose a ottoman tray instead.
For those of you not familiar with ottoman trays, they are simply ottomans that will have a serving tray built into the ottoman. This is usually accomplished by having top cushions that are removable. They can be flipped over to reveal a flat tray with handles that can be transported to the kitchen and back. The removable section also reveals a handy storage space to keep your TV guides, books and remote controls.
Tray Ottomans
To highlight the best reasons why an ottoman tray is superior to a cocktail table let us simply ask a few questions about coffee tables and see how they stand up.
Does your cocktail table act as a foot rest? For most people, yes. Does it serve this purpose well? No. Such tables are usually wood, marble or glass. Who wants to rest their feet on that when they could be sitting on plush upholstered leather?
Does your coffee table give you adequate storage space? There are some tables that will have a large shelf near the floor. Some even have multiples drawers. Ottoman trays trump all of this by a mile. Think cubic volume. Can you store 6 blankets in your coffee table? Or thirty issues of your favorite magazine? I doubt it.
Have you ever seen anyone sit on your coffee table by choice? Think about the last time you ran out of seating at a home gathering. Did someone say,"Don't worry about it. I'll just sit on the coffee table." On the other hand I'm sure you've heard someone say,"Oh that's okay. I'll just sit on the ottoman. I don't need arm rests anyway." Ottoman trays function as another seat or chair in the house which is something your table does not.
Having read this article you should start to see how coffee tables are things of the past. Unless you are going for true artistic expression with your table, an ottoman tray is by far the superior choice when talking about pure functionality. Next time you are in the furniture store, remember that.
