Locate the actual corner problem
Decide whether the obstruction is at shoulder, knee or floor level. A curved top may improve movement around an edge while doing little for chair legs underneath. Defining the problem prevents buying a shape that addresses the wrong part of the room.
Compare top and base dimensions
Inspect drawings and photos for splayed legs, crossbars and projecting feet. Ask for missing dimensions instead of assuming that the top is the widest part. The floor footprint determines whether the table can sit as close to the seating as you intend.
Set out the useful surface
A round top loses practical space differently from a rectangle once a lamp or tray is on it. Arrange your actual objects within a paper circle. If a lamp fills most of the circle, decide whether another nearby surface already handles drinks and reading material.
Observe how it meets the wall
A circle tucked into a square corner leaves unused space behind it. That gap may be harmless or may make a cable difficult to reach. Compare a rectangular alternative if the priority is maximizing a small corner rather than softening its appearance.
A hypothetical table has a compact circular top and broad outward legs. It fits the visual gap but conflicts with the lounge chair foot. The buyer compares the full base drawing before choosing it for that corner.
