Entertaining
For those who entertain in the living room and those with young children, a square coffee table solves multiple needs simultaneously.

Fill the Visual Void
As modern homes have gotten bigger, so too have living rooms and sofa sets expanded in size. This change now allows us much greater flexibility for entertaining larger groups more comfortably.

One Solution is to utilize an appropriately sized square coffee table. The square shape balances the elements of the larger sofa set drawing opposite sides of the sofa set together. For example, you feel closer to those on the opposite leg of a U-shaped sofa set without needing to be closer. A square coffee table can bridge the communication gap by making everyone in the room feel connected. When everyone in a room can touch a central object, the square coffee table for example, it is much harder to stay disconnected.
