Beyond its aesthetic appeal, an infinity mirror coffee table offers practical benefits as well. The mirrored surface provides a sleek and reflective surface for displaying decorative items, while the built-in lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for setting the mood for intimate gatherings or relaxing evenings.
