This Costco Furniture Find Is Half Coffee Table, Half Pet Paradise-and It's Pure Genius
Walk into any pet store, and you will find enclosed beds, pods and cave structures in different styles, colors and designs. Most of them will work as a retreat spot for your pet to get some quiet time.
The problem is most of them look like they were designed for a pet, and not for the room. That style compromise is something most pet parents have quietly accepted. They give the cat what it needs, and live with the visual cost.

4 Cats & Dogs Coco Coffee Table With Hidden Pet Hideout, $239.99 at Costco
For many pets, the most important part of the room is a quiet corner under a desk, a spot behind the couch, or the favorite nook where nobody bothers them.
The 4 Cats & Dogs Coco Coffee Table from Costco combines that functionality with home decor that many pets love: their own private retreat.
At $239.99, this coffee table that doubles down as a pet retreat includes a drawer and an open shelf for things like remotes, books and items you set down and forget.
The pet space sits just below the tabletop. Pets can access it from both the front and the rear, allowing cats and small dogs to move through it, settle inside, or keep one paw in while the other stays out, depending on the social situation.
The best part is the tabletop, made of tempered glass. It allows pets to see up and out from inside the space. Instead of feeling like they are in a sealed box, they feel like they are in their private space, monitor the situation, and decide whether to go out and socialize on their terms.

Why Do Pets Need Private Spaces?
Most dogs and cats will instinctively seek enclosed spaces during a thunderstorm, when the vacuum cleaner comes to life, or when guests arrive. Not all pets are social butterflies and happy-go-lucky golden retrievers.
Some pets want private space and comfort when guests are around. Having access to a quiet, protected area helps pets manage everyday stress. They gain control over the environment.
Try to imagine a family gathering with plenty of children running around, conversations filling the room, and the front door kept open. Pet parents might enjoy the activity, but some pets may look for a way out. This coffee table gives them that.
Most traditional pet beds occupy valuable floor space. This coffee table serves multiple purposes and fits perfectly into your home decor.
For households with limited space, the 4 Cats & Dogs Coco Coffee Table's multifunctionality is everything.
