Even if the standard measurements are available, it is possible to adapt them according to your room, your style of decor or your inspiration.
A classic tray for a coffee table must be 100x 60 cm. However, these dimensions are not always suitable for the room, space and style you want to give.
Thus, large volumes require the installation of a spacious coffee table. It is better to opt for an XXL tray. If it is rectangular, it must measure 120 cm x 90 cm. If the top is square, the dimension is 120 cm x 120 cm. If the tray is round, prefer a large diameter.
