Below are some photographs of some of the tables I have designed and
made to illustrate how one can vary the appearance of a table
by the use of different methods of construction, and differences in the
dimensions of the elements.
Coffee Table 1
This cherry coffee table is supported by two central posts with top
brackets and curved feet at the bottom. All the joints between the base
components are mortise and tenon. The top has semicircular ends.

Coffee table
2.
A completely different approach with this american hard maple coffee
table which is made from thick slabs of maple joined with a series of
haunched mortise and tenon joints across the width of the boards.

Coffee table 3.
A maple coffee table with the top fixed through blocks of maple which
have been wood stained black to match the granite slab which has been
inset into the top.

Coffee table 4.
A conventional oak coffee table with mortise and tenon corner joints
and a pot shelf underneath.

Coffee table 5.
This coffee table has been massively over structured for its intended
purpose purely as a design statement and would probably support a car
engine, let alone a coffee cup.

Coffee table 6.
The sizes of the components in this oak coffee table are more in
proportion to its structural needs as, being 120cm by 120cm square,
there is a large weight of oak to be supported including the drawers
and shelves underneath the table.
