Some pieces of furniture never stop evolving. Coffee tables are among them, specifically those of the storage variety. It’s like magic—what were once clunky designs with misshapen tops and visible drawers have transformed into impossibly sleek silhouettes you’d never guess were hiding anything. You have to see it to believe it, so we pulled together some of our favorite recent finds that’ll really keep your board game stash a secret.

Still wondering where the storage lives here? We’ll tell you: the drawers melt into the smaller ends of the table. Treat it like a home for everything you need when a guest pops by—extra coasters, cocktail supplies, or a cozy throw.
West Elm Agnelli Coffee Table
There are two hidden storage nooks inside this plinth-like table, making it easy to access what you need, no matter where you’re lounging.
Anthropologie Halstead Storage Coffee Table
This one draws a bit more attention to itself, but not because it’s got compartments. Made of oak, two of the coffered-like sides open up into sliding drawers separated into two cubbies. If you’re a family of four, give each person a space for their living room essentials.

Not an inch is wasted here, from the massive tabletop (you’ll never lose a remote again) to the belly of the drum, which can pack your entire blanket collection and then some.
The Elevated One That’s Worth the Splurge
This table’s stubby legs serve up some major personality, but they also help lighten up the whole look of the solid oak and veneer design. Wondering how to get to what you need inside? It has a pivoting top that opens up into the hidden storage—a cozy space for books or board games.
