Here are my top picks for Kid-Friendly coffee tables…
Having a table that has a weathered look is ideal. It doesn’t show those scratches and little nicks that happen over time with a busy household.
Also when you have really young ones going with a round is best no head bumps.
A little more modern Stone Top
If you want a more customized look there is nothing like an upholstered ottoman. Fabrics are key here.. Just a couple examples to get you thinking.
– Vinyl is low maintenance. Quick tip run your fingernail on your fabric swatch to see if it shows scratches. This will let you know if it passes the kid-friendly test.

Other option would be using an indoor/outdoor fabric with pattern

Or a vinyl top option with a pattern on the bottom
Happy Everything!

Karen, I agree that there’s nothing like an ottoman when it comes to a child-friendly coffee table. We used an ottoman and removeable tray strategy, which I featured (along with your blog post) in a post on my blog today: http://hintmama.com/2013/09/16/todays-hint-a-more-child-friendly-coffee-table/
