Answer 3

I have found some of the best furnishing items at estate sales. Check your local classified section for locations and lists. Tip - if it's going on for at least 2 days, wait until the 2nd day or toward the end of the sale to buy. You take a risk that someone else may buy the item before you do but, if money is an issue, the items generally will be discounted 25% - 50% by then. Other good places to check out - Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, thrift and secondhand stores, consignment shops, and garage/moving sales. If I had to do my adult life over again - I would have started shopping these places right from the beginning instead of scrimping and saving and doing without to get pieces of furniture that I was afraid to use for fear of ruining them. I find unbelievable deals at these places on all sorts of items that have had little or no use as well as great older pieces.

Here is a good furniture guide - it is English, but it gives good information:

There is a link at the bottom for smaller tables.

Actual coffee tables were not made until the 1920's.
