As long as the cheap coffee table has great bones and is sturdy, it can always be repainted or refinished to match your decor and style. You could even do a special paint treatment or paint it a bright color to stand out against the rest of the room.
Another great place to find cheap coffee tables is in the discount/clearance rooms of large furniture stores. They often reduce the price of merchandise if it has a small scratch, even if it's not noticeable, or that particular piece has been discontinued. Getting a great deal on a coffee table means that you have paint or refinish it to match your home, if it needs any work at all. Finding a coffee table that's well made and put together can be a lot of fun if you enjoy the thrill of the hunt. The best plan is to find an inexpensive one and clean it and paint it if it needs it. There are many coffee tables available on clearance, so there's no need to pay full price for one.
