Coffee Tables make me think of Coffee table books which seem to me to be objects whose only purpose is to be on display and rarely if ever used. They are in stark contrast to the coffee table itself which has many wonderful uses: 1) Holding coffee cups (of course). 2) Resting place for feet (If my parents aren't in the room). 3) Temporary dinner table in the living room during the Super Bowl. 4) Place to collect other stuff that has no assigned place.
I'm wondering if we have other objects like coffee table books - only purchased for show - for making an impression on others. On the other hand, you should probably take a look at the old episode from Seinfeld about coffee table books.
