Yes, a coffee table can function as a dining table in small spaces or casual settings, especially if it has adjustable height. Look for lift-top coffee tables, which can be elevated to dining height when needed. Rectangular or larger round tables with sturdy construction work best. Keep in mind that the height and reach of a coffee table may not be as ergonomic as a traditional dining table, so it may only be a temporary or occasional solution. Adding cushions or floor seating can enhance comfort if you’re dining on a coffee table regularly.
