Harper Coffee Table - Black

The Harper coffee table brings a monochrome look to your living room with a square top measuring 800mm wide by 800mm deep and standing 450mm high. Built from oak veneer over a supportive metal frame, it pairs a warm timber grain with structural strength. The black matt grain finish is an applied effect that gives the surface a soft, low-sheen appearance rather than a glossy one, while a gently curved design keeps the shape easy on the eye rather than boxy or hard-edged. A lower layer beneath the main top adds space for books, magazines and everyday bits you want kept close.

This is a table that works well in a modern living room, sitting comfortably in front of a two or three seater sofa. The square footprint gives you plenty of room for drinks, a tray or a stack of books, and the lower shelf keeps clutter off the top surface. Subtle rope detailing on the frame adds a little texture without drawing too much attention, so the piece settles into a range of schemes from pared-back to warmer, layered rooms. The all-black look pairs with pale rugs and natural wood, or leans into a darker, cosier setting.

Assembly is required and the table arrives flat in a single box, weighing 15kg in total, so it is manageable for one or two people to build and move. To keep it looking its best, wipe the surface with a damp cloth or run a duster over it regularly. Avoid harsh cleaning products or soaking the veneer, as excess moisture can affect the finish over time. Dry any spills quickly. With a little routine care, the black matt surface stays clean and even for years.
