Every home with children can use a cocktail table to serve distinct functions. Moreover, some tables are designed for particular purposes. Game tables usually come with built in game boards such as checkers, chess, backgammon, or Chinese checkers. Many tables are designed just for use with interlocking building blocks, wood blocks or even train tracks.

There are also cocktail tables equipped with storage compartments for books, magazines, game pieces, and even the television remote. Sewing notions, reading glasses, and coasters can also be stored in this convenient location for easy use.

We must not forget that cocktail tables are often used to serve cocktails and there are many tables that are built to store liquor bottles, dispenser spouts, glasses, and condiments. Many of these tables have wheels on one end, and regular legs on the other, with a handle for easy movement about the room. Antique cocktail tables are often made in this fashion and could double as tea tables for daytime use and cocktail tables for evening use.

This list of alternative uses for cocktail tables would not be complete without listing the most comfortable use of all, and that is to prop up ones tired feet at the end of the day or while watching the weekend game on television.
