Raise with Risers
One easy way to raise your coffee table higher is to use furniture risers. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors and can easily be found at your local home goods store.
- Measure the width of your coffee table legs and buy risers that fit
- Attach the risers to the legs with screws or double-sided tape
- Add your desired height (ideally, no more than 4-5 inches)
Stack Books & Magazines
If you’re looking for a free or inexpensive way to boost the height of your coffee table, you can always grab some of your favorite books and magazines and stack them underneath the tabletop. Use pieces of cardboard or a tray to make sure the items are secure and are not at risk of sliding off.

Once you have your supplies, follow these steps:
