Mercury Row Hadley Coffee Table

If modern is more your speed, this free-form coffee table is a nice break from the usual rectangle. The top has an abstract shape with soft, rounded edges, and it sits on flared solid wood legs that give it a mid-century look without feeling retro. It’s 47 inches wide, 23 inches deep, and 15 inches tall. That’s long enough to anchor a full-size sofa, but low and slim enough to keep sightlines open, which helps a lot in an apartment where every square foot counts. It weighs 14 lb., so moving it around is easy, and it arrives partially assembled with the tools included.

You can choose from six finishes: black, oak, walnut, walnut on black, white on oak, and a breezy white wash. Heads up: the top is engineered wood rather than solid, it holds up to 50 lb., and there’s no shelf or drawer. Plan on a basket or a side table nearby for remotes and throw blankets. Wayfair shoppers give it 4.5 stars across more than 3,000 reviews. To play up the organic shape, pair it with a curved sofa or a round jute rug. Or put it in front of a boxy sectional for some contrast.

Formerly the Campanelli Coffee Table.
