Coffee Table Set vs Single Coffee Table
A single coffee table is the better choice for most living rooms, and a coffee table set is the better choice when you want pieces you can split, move or tuck away. In the Saraf catalogue the real differences are storage, listed footprint and how each set is priced, and the pricing is less predictable than you would expect.
Is a coffee table set better than a single coffee table?
Neither wins on every count. Every Saraf table that names a drawer, shelf or storage is a single table, so storage points to a single. A set earns its price when you want separate pieces that move, split or double as side tables, and its price per square foot needs a closer look.
In this guide a set means a listing sold as several pieces, such as the Cube Coffee Table Set of 5 pcs, which some buyers call a centre table set. A single is one table. The rest of the page shows where the numbers come from and which Saraf tables we would shortlist.

Our hero picks from the Saraf coffee table collection
These are the tables we would shortlist, with the reason for each. Sizes and prices come from the product pages on 29 October 2026, and every one is solid Sheesham wood with free shipping across India.
Capital Coffee Table with Shelf & Drawer
Solid Wood Capital Coffee Table with Shelf & Drawer
The Capital Coffee Table with Shelf & Drawer costs ₹15,599, measures 110 x 60 x 40 cm and needs no assembly. Its price sits exactly at the median for single tables, which makes it a fair reference point for everything else. The shelf and drawer give remote controls, coasters and magazines somewhere to go, so it suits anyone who wants one table that works hard in a typical living room.
Cube Coffee Table Set of 5 pcs: the hero set
The Cube Coffee Table Set of 5 pcs costs ₹22,199, lists 95 x 95 x 45 cm and needs no assembly. It comes to about ₹4,440 a piece, which is below the price of the cheapest single table in the range, and it costs ₹6,800 less than the 3 piece Cube set. Each piece is smaller than a standard table, so choose it if you like to rearrange the room and not if you want one large surface.
Buck Trio Coffee Table: the lowest price per square foot
The Buck Trio Coffee Table costs ₹9,999, lists 95 x 95 x 40 cm and needs minimal assembly. At ₹1,029 per square foot it is the cheapest of the six listings we measured. The name points to three pieces, though the page does not confirm the count, so check before you order. It is a sensible place to start for a first home.
Brass Raj Coffee Table Set of 5 Pcs: the statement set
The Brass Raj Coffee Table Set of 5 Pcs costs ₹29,699, lists 95 x 95 x 37 cm and needs minimal assembly. It is the lowest of the four sets at 37 cm, so check it against your sofa's seat height. The price is about three times the Buck Trio for the same listed size, which means you would choose this one for the design and not for value.
Burrow 2 Part Adjustable Coffee Table: the compact in between option
The Burrow 2 Part Adjustable Coffee Table costs ₹21,199, lists 80 x 80 x 37 cm and needs no assembly. It is a single listing with a two part, adjustable design and rust proof metal legs under the Sheesham top, according to the product page. At 6.9 square feet it is the most compact table of the six, so it suits a smaller room that still wants some flexibility.
If budget matters more than size, the Jaipur Coffee Table is the lowest priced listing at ₹6,699. Check its size on the page before you order.
Sizing the table to your sofa
Two thirds of the sofa's length is a common starting point for a coffee table. Using the listed sizes, a 110 cm table suits a sofa about 165 cm long, which is a 2 seater or a compact 3 seater. A 95 cm square suits a sofa about 143 cm long. Listed heights run from 37 cm to 48 cm, so compare them with your sofa's seat height, since a common guide is a table at or just below it. Our blog has a separate guide on the two thirds rule, and you can browse sofa sets if the sofa is still undecided.

Frequently asked questions
How many pieces does a Saraf coffee table set have?
The Saraf catalogue lists the Cube Coffee Table Set of 3 pcs, the Cube Coffee Table Set of 5 pcs and the Brass Raj Coffee Table Set of 5 Pcs. The Buck Trio is named for three pieces, but its product page does not state a count, so confirm it with Saraf before you order.
How much does a coffee table set cost in India?
At Saraf, the four coffee table sets cost between ₹9,999 and ₹29,699 at 29 October 2026 sale prices. Single tables run from ₹6,699 to ₹54,499, with a median of ₹15,599. Prices change during sales, so check the live listing before you decide.
Does a coffee table set take up more floor space than a single table?
It can. Three Saraf sets list a 95 x 95 cm size, about 9.7 square feet, while the Capital single table lists 110 x 60 cm, about 7.1 square feet. Always compare listed sizes, because a set that looks compact in a photo may need more floor than one rectangular table.
Can a coffee table set include storage?
None of the four Saraf sets names a drawer, shelf or storage in its title. Of the 143 listings, 23 do, and all of them are single tables. If storage matters, the Capital Coffee Table with Shelf & Drawer is a good place to start.
Do Saraf coffee tables need assembly?
The Cube sets, the Capital and the Burrow list no assembly required, while the Buck Trio and the Brass Raj set list minimal assembly. The product pages list free assembly in major cities and a nominal charge of about ₹350 to ₹450 per coffee table elsewhere, with conditions by order value, so check at checkout.
What finishes can I choose?
The product pages list walnut, honey and stone finishes on solid Sheesham wood, and describe the finish as needing no regular polishing. Use coasters under hot or wet items and wipe spills quickly, since the pages note that spills can stain.
Final thoughts: which should you buy?
Buy a single table if storage matters, if you want one clear surface, or if the room is small. Buy a set if you want separate pieces, and compare the price per square foot first, because the four Saraf sets range from ₹1,029 to ₹4,082 on that measure. If you cannot decide, start with the Capital for a single and the Cube Set of 5 for a set. Both ship free across India, and Saraf gives a lifetime warranty for termite resistance on the wood.
