Rounded edges are worth noting on a coffee table, because a coffee table sits at exactly shin and toddler head height in the middle of a room — square corners are the single most common furniture injury in a home with small children. The FCT 1280 combines that with a dark tempered glass top, which is the most forgiving surface a coffee table can have: it wipes clean of anything, will not mark from a wet glass, and contrasts against the neutral metallic or matte grey beige base. Integrated front storage drawer cabinets keep remotes, chargers and magazines off the top, which is what keeps a living room looking calm.

Buying guide
Tempered glass is made to resist everyday knocks, but avoid dropping heavy objects onto it and never place a pot straight off the heat on the surface. Dark glass shows dust and fingerprints more than matt finishes, so keep a microfibre cloth nearby — it wipes clean in seconds, which is the trade-off. Leave 40–45cm from the sofa and check the drawers open fully in that position. Rounded edges are a genuine safety feature in a family living room and worth prioritising if you have small children.
How it compares
Against a wooden top, tempered glass wipes clean of everything and never marks from a wet glass, though it shows dust more. Against a square-edged table, rounded edges are meaningfully safer with small children. Against an open table, the drawer cabinets hide everyday clutter.
