Between impromptu happy hours, the kids’ drawings, and the remotes lying around, the living room coffee table has to withstand a lot without losing its poise. Fans of Nordic lines are precisely looking for this rare piece, sturdy enough for daily life, but refined enough not to weigh down the room.
This is the niche that the new IKEA STOCKHOLM 2025 oak and glass coffee table fills, launched in the STOCKHOLM 2025 anniversary collection available since April 2025. Netmums describes it as “a piece of robust yet elegant design that you absolutely must add to your interior,” for a price of around €249. It remains to see in detail what it truly brings to the living room.
An IKEA STOCKHOLM 2025 coffee table in oak and glass designed for everyday use
This round coffee table has a diameter of 97 cm and a height of 38 cm, proportions comfortable for a three-seat sofa. Its top combines a warm oak veneer and a tempered glass surface, set within a wooden lip that limits items from falling. The maximum load rated is 15 kg, more than enough for a serving tray, stacks of books, or a laptop.
Designed by Ola Wihlborg, the model 205.865.52 also emphasizes discreet technical details. IKEA highlights invisible fixings to keep a clean silhouette, and a removable glass top that can be easily removed for cleaning. The table is part of the STOCKHOLM 2025 collection, which gathers 96 pieces announced on April 7, 2025 and available from April 10, 2025.
Warm Scandinavian design: what the sobriety of STOCKHOLM 2025 hides
Visually, the table leans into lightness. The glass lets light pass through and allows the grain of the oak to be seen, worked in four directions on the top according to Netmums, which gives the impression of a more substantial handcrafted piece. The legs in solid ash remain slim yet stable, which helps avoid overpowering a small living room.
The style remains very Scandinavian: rounded shapes, light wood, simple lines. Nothing flashy, but a finish that coordinates with a beige fabric sofa, a graphic-pattern rug, or existing furniture. Netmums even calls it “an adult version of the pretty,” to emphasize this sophisticated yet unfussy side that appeals to fans of clean decor.
A sturdy and practical coffee table that easily fits into the living room
Practically, several details make the daily use different. The tempered glass resists shocks better than ordinary glass, while it cleans in a few seconds with a damp cloth after a spilled juice or snack crumbs. The oak edge around the top limits the risk of glasses slipping, and the round shape avoids sharp edges at the level of children’s faces.
The removable top also makes cleaning easier: you can lift the glass to wipe the wood, remove dust or clean fingerprints. For larger living rooms, IKEA offers another round STOCKHOLM 2025 oak coffee table in dark oak (ref. 505.865.55), designed by Nike Karlsson, with a 90 cm diameter and a load rating of 20 kg. Enough to compose a coordinated set, while keeping this oak and glass piece as an elegant focal point of the seating area.
