Where did you get your coffee table?
We just bought a new sofa and chair over the weekend and now need a new coffee table and a couple of end tables for the living room. I'm a bit sticker shocked with the little investigating I've done into coffee tables. Where did you get your coffee table and what do you think is a decent price for a coffee table. I obviously want something nice, but we put our feet up on it and we're going to have kids (plus the dog) so it's probably going to be beat up on.
TIA!

Re: Where did you get your coffee table?
I bought an espresso leather storage ottoman off of eBay - we're feet-proppers w/ 2 big dogs - one of which likes to nap between the couch & ottoman under our feet and scrape her nails along the ottoman when she stretches out. It has no nail marks on it whatsoever and is wearing incredibly well. (It's also almost directly under a skylight and hasn't faded at all.)
We paid @$160 and we've had it just over a year. Leather was a good choice for us.
We got this one at Furniture Fair last summer.
So far so good in terms of quality and we've gotten numerous compliments on the style. We bought the matching end table and console table, too. I feel like we got it a bit cheaper during a special sale.

We actually have a very large ottoman that matches our sectional and chair in our living room. We then put a very large pottery barn tray on top of it. It's multi-functional and we get lots of compliments on it.
It's 24 inches by 24 inches. I PIP'd a picture of the tray, but the ottoman our tray is on, is MUCH larger.
Ashley Furniture. It's an oversized coffee table that doubles as storage and 3 matching end tables for something like $300. The storage coffee table was essential for us since we were in a 2 bdrm apt with 2 little kids. Still looks "decent" but it's really hard to keep furniture looking nice when you have small kids.....
We bought it about 4.5 years ago.

We got our at the brass armadillo. it is closed now, but i think most of the vendors moved to the fairfield antique mall. or something like that. I can't remember what we paid, but i love it....yes, I put my feet up on it.
