Lucite, Glass and Acrylic Coffee Tables

I have lived in my current apartment now for over a year and still have not purchased a coffee table for my living room.  I really don't have a whole lot of space and  wasn't sure if I wanted a white frame with glass, or a silver frame with glass, all wood, etc, etc and everything I saw was either too chunky/bulky for the space, or just too pricey.

I've been searching and searching online and have finally found the solution; a see through coffee table! Whether it's glass, lucite or acrylic, they all have a really modern, clean look to them and the fact that you can see through them makes them ideal for a small space.

This one is actually glass which gives it a green cast



This is my personal fave

Obvioulsy, you would not have to limit yourself to just a coffee table, as there is a wide range of acrylic furniture, however, they can be very, very expensive. The option I am going to opt for is the CB2 Peekaboo Clear Coffee Table. The price is not ridiculous and I think it will be perfect for my space.  I'm going to pick it up this weekend when I get a moment! I'll be sure to post a photo of the new table once it's home.
