We have 4 remote controls, hand cream, kindle, post it notes, a nearly burned down candle, a cup of tea, a plate of biscuit crumbs, a tub of halloween sweets, dust and dh's feet Hmm

It's always a mess, thus I can't be arsed to dust it!

Tell me what's on yours, or show me. I'd love to see some coffee tables with beautiful and interesting things on them Smile

A cup of tea.

Lolita89 · 11/11/2020 14:59

An empty mug, which will go to the kitchen when I get off the couch - I love empty surfaces 😅

cupidsabsolutepsyche · 11/11/2020 15:35

Lego, 2 remote controls, Jenga, the Week Junior, drawing pad and pens, cds to be sold, hair scrunchie. Underneath, books, box of old photos and paperwork, Scrabble, table tennis bats, Wonderwoman headband, more bloody Lego. It's quite a big table, tbf, but it needs tidying!

A cat. Hence why there's nothing else because anything left there would be booted onto the floor sharpish.

BoulangerieBabs · 11/11/2020 15:39

We currently don't have one so nothing.

We can't agree on which one to buy. It needs to be small enough to be unobtrusive but still functional but big enough to put his bastard puzzle board on 🙄

doodlejump1980 · 11/11/2020 15:39

So.much. Lego

CandleWick4 · 11/11/2020 15:41

A lego duplo tower that is far too high for my daughter to have made so I'm assuming it is her dads creation, an xbox controller, a DVD, a toy tea cup and saucer, a TV remote and a can of pepsi max

DarylDixonsHair · 11/11/2020 15:47

3 empty cups, 2 reading books, half eaten apple and a (plastic) gorilla.

Tink1990 · 11/11/2020 15:53

Vase of flowers, tealight candle holder things (with 3 tealights in each) and my coasters. Underneath :box of tissues, 3 remote controls

Only DS's dummy, until it goes back in then it'll be nothing

Takethewinefromtheswine · 11/11/2020 15:54

On top, nothing. On the shelf underneath, a box of photos and a photo album, waiting for me to organise them.

WitchSharkadder · 11/11/2020 15:56

A basket of random crap including pens, a tape measure, chargers, glue, hand gel and I don't know what else. Not in the basket is hand cream, a kindle, some drawings the DCs did, a couple of school letters, books, a Halloween goodie bag and the instruction manual for my printer.

BeyondsConstantBangingHeadache · 11/11/2020 15:59

My PS4, my small tv screen to play it on, letter from the bank, bottle of water, cup of coffee, vape juice, hand sanitiser, and two open packets of biscuits

Camomila · 11/11/2020 16:04

a pencil case with felt tip pens and an empty ikea plate that had blueberries in a minute ago.

Our coffee table is at baby cruising height so tends to be clean.

teenagetantrums · 11/11/2020 16:05

Tissues, a plate. 3 glasses, a pair of glasses, two pairs of glasses, remote controls, one pair of scissors and a knife.
God knows what's on the shelf under we tend to stick everything without a home there.

Champagneforeveryone · 11/11/2020 16:06

You lot all sound like you've got enormous coffee tables!

We have a couple of mugs (in use) DH's diary, a couple of coasters and the remote thingy. Underneath is a pile of artfully arranged Country Living magazines, a couple bird books and some dust.

MonsterKidz · 11/11/2020 16:09

3 plants - one cocoa plant, 2 succulents in decorative pots sitting on a mat and then a magazine sitting to the side. Cup of tea that i’ve just finished.
