Round, definately round. I have 2 loveseats in an L like yours and my round
table works well (about 40" diameter).

My wife has rearranged the living room furniture, and we need a coffee
table. (the one that is there now is just temporary.)

I am thinking maybe half a hexagon?
Where would you put legs on a shape like that?

I am open to suggestions; thanks.
