A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, feet, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as coasters.
(Coffee Tables) While any small and low table can be, and is, called a coffee table, the term is applied particularly to the sets of three or four tables made from about 1790; of which the latter were called 'quartetto tables'.

Coffee table with vintage sleigh and vintage kitchen set.
The set was given to our daughter, Kelly by her uncle, David.
Now her children enjoy pkaying with it. The sink has a tray to
hold water and then you can turn on the little faucets. The little
dishwasher has a hose to connect to a faucet and will then
spin and wash the little dishes. There is little food to play with.
