A must-have furniture item for any interior, the coffee table is the centrepiece of your living room. But choosing one is not so easy. Between its dimensions, style, the materials it is made of or its cost, it is sometimes difficult to find the right one. Why not make your own coffee table, yourself? That’s impossible you may say! But not so with TIPTOE! Beyond its functionality, you are free to imagine an original and unique piece of furniture, perfect for your interior. At TIPTOE, we give you the means to create the table of your dreams.
Ready, get set, go!
Our coffee table legs, an innovation as practical as it is decorative
After the success of the widely celebrated 75cm modular table and desk leg, TIPTOE has converted that initial test into its 43cm coffee table legs, a brilliant little design feat. All the industrial know-how and creativity of TIPTOE in a shorter version! The brand’s flagship concept, the modular leg, is part of our DNA. In just a few minutes and with no extra tools, you can use it to a make practical, solid and designer piece of furniture that reflects who you are. This is also thanks to our patented clamping system that adapts to all kinds of table tops.
Our recommendations for choosing a tabletop
There are still a few guidelines one should follow when creating their DIY coffee table. Whatever material you choose, the thickness of the tabletop can range from 20 to 40 mm and its dimensions up to 150×75 cm for a rectangular top, while a round top can be up to 100 cm in diameter. Champions in terms of load-bearing, our coffee table legs can support up to 70 kg with no strain. Design this sturdy and sleek is indeed a rarity. And, as always, we refrain from using glass or any other brittle material.
How to make a DIY coffee table ?
Once the choice of the tray is made, all you have to do is move on to making your coffee table. And for that, nothing could be easier! You will need 3 or 4 43cm TIPTOE coffee table legs depending on the size and weight of your tabletop. For round coffee tables, we recommend the use of 3 legs. For rectangular or square coffee tables, 4 legs will be necessary.
Quick and easy assembly
As you can see, with the short TIPTOE legs, each piece of furniture is different. Once you have made your choice, it’s time to assemble!
Contrary to popular belief, this is perhaps the easiest step. Leaning against a wall, tighten each leg by hand around your tabletop. And you’re all set. Making your own DIY coffee table is a snap…
A coffee table leg for all shapes and sizes
By playing with the dimensions or shape of your top, you can create original coffee tables as you see fit. At 43 cm high, the small TIPTOE leg works as tool for reinventing your furniture. You can go for an understatement in terms of form and originality in terms of function. All decorating ideas are possible with the TIPTOE coffee table legs!
COFFEE TABLE LEGSRectangular coffee tables
To make her DIY coffee table, Annette used a rectangular wooden top with its original bark. A design detail that makes all the difference! Laura meanwhile has opted for a rectangular wooden top that is both long and slender. You can go for outsize dimensions, for an all-in-one piece of furniture, where you can see yourself having lunch, doing homework or having an aperitif. This superb wooden coffee table fits harmoniously into its interior.
An XXL coffee table
Have you ever dreamt of having a hexagonal coffee table? Yvonne has created one! This could also be described as the art of giving a second life to a dining room table top. The dark colour of her wooden coffee table contrasts with the eucalyptus grey of the TIPTOE coffee table legs. A flawless victory in terms of interior deco!
Round coffee tables
As a new trend in interior design, arches and curves are cropping up on small furniture everywhere. Lauriane has chosen the classic wooden coffee table with white TIPTOE legs to add a touch of softness to her living room. A special mention goes to Kamila’s DIY plastic coffee table with our black legs to round-out her modern decor.
For her living room table, Marion thought to soften the rough aspect of concrete by playing the roundness card. The result is a very fashionable visual effect.
An oval coffee table
In contrast, Fanny has gone for elegance in her living room, with her oval coffee table and its white plastic top that pairs with the eucalyptus grey legs in a very natural aesthetic. An irresistible move for all those keen on going green.
Original shapes
Jasmine meanwhile has preferred to emphasise the warmth and authenticity of her oddly-shaped wood top by enhancing it with a Berber carpet boasting a deep shade of burgundy.

Ethnic

Under her pergola, Beckie pairs her bench with a raw wood coffee table. The string lights and hanging flower pots create a cocooning atmosphere in her bohemian space.
By the sea
We head now to the seaside to witness Virginie’s ingenious idea of recovering a shutter that she has repainted white. These soft and refine tones make you want to escape into nature. Her recycled coffee table is definitely one of our favourite DIY creations.
Geometric design
In the graphic spirit, Thibault’s creation won over the entire editorial team. Using a stainless steel construction grid, he arranged our legs in a staggered pattern to accentuate the geometric aspect of his composition for a truly one-of-a-kind coffee table!
Rustic
Now to the countryside, for the creations of Julie and Lila. These TIPTOE customers have made their DIY coffee table by repurposing the door of an old farm and the shutter of an old barn. The contrast of wood and metal creates a rustic and pastoral atmosphere that we actually find very pleasing.
Scandinavian
The Nordic style is irresistible in terms of interior design. To adopt a cozy Scandinavian style in your living room, opt for a light wood tabletop like that of Louise, which brings warmth to the space of her interior.
Lysiane has chosen a long and slender wooden coffee table to decorate her sleek Scandinavian living room. The cloth rug that goes with her coffee table does not seem to displease her little tribe!
Industrial
For an industrial style in the spirit of repurposing, why not do like Lorraine and recycle an old pallet? We love how it goes with the black metal legs. Two raw materials that give character to its industrial decoration.
Marianne also opted for the DIY coffee table using a recycled pallet. An industrial style sublimated by the sleek design of the TIPTOE legs.
