Standard coffee tables are 41–46 cm (16–18 in) tall — level with the sofa seat — and about 122 × 61 cm (48 × 24 in). Size the length to two-thirds of the sofa and leave 36–46 cm (14–18 in) of legroom.
A coffee table is specified by its top length and width (depth), plus its height off the floor.

A spec table only helps if the buyer reads it. Many don't — shoppers routinely try to judge a product's size straight from the images, and wrong size or fit is the most-cited reason things get returned. The fix is to mark the real dimensions on the photo itself, where the buyer is already looking.
SizeMarker snaps dimension lines to the coffee table's edges and exports at Amazon or Alibaba size, so the measurement is accurate and legible — not a guess typed over the picture. That answers the size question up front and cuts pre-sale questions and size-driven returns.
