Generally speaking, a "sofa table" is a tall, narrow table used behind a sofa to hold lamps or decorative objects. A "coffee table" is any table used in front of the sofa, ostensibly as a place to set your coffee cup. That being said, any number of variations can be used: "cocktail tables" are really just coffee tables used for cocktails, and "end tables" are just small sofa tables, moved to the ends of the sofa. There are no rules for these things, but do remember to keep your lamps and decorations in proportion to the tables that hold them - by no means should any table be overloaded or unbalanced. Also remember to keep 18-20" between the sofa and any table(s) in front of it, to avoid banging your legs. Keep all electrical cords tangle-free and out of traffic. And don't be afraid to think outside the norm for tables: chests, dressers, trunks, baskets, cradles, even file cabinets can all be made useful around and in front of seating. Or maybe you don't need a table at all...
Coffee tables range from 16-20 inches tall. A tea height coffee table runs around 25" tall. Check your local Target or Walmart for a great deal on coffee tables! The appropriate height for a coffee table is the height measured from the floor to the top of your sofa cushions. Some say it is okay if the height is an inch or two below the height of the seat cushions, but some may find that less comfortable as it would involve more bending over.
