Map Coffee Tables are type of low table that is often placed in front of a couch in a living room or family room, featuring a map on the surface of the table rather than a plain wood or glass surface. Map Coffee Tables are often a glass-topped coffee table; the map is placed under the glass, and the coffee table may be used as normal without fear of damaging the map. Some coffee tables also just feature a map underneath a clear glaze, to protect the map without using glass.
One of the most common kinds of Map Coffee Tables is made of wood; these may feature extra benefits such as storage drawers.

It is possible to use wood to get either a modern or an antique look, simply by altering the finish of the wood and the style of the hardware on the piece, as well as the shape of the table overall. Modern styles typically are fairly simple, without a lot of ornate details. Iron or metal coffee tables are also somewhat more modern looking, and are usually more basic, often featuring a simple glass top. Any of these designs can become map coffee tables.
