I need help decreasing the line spacing for tables on product descriptions:
https://www.coastalcoffeecollective.com/products/new-product-copy
Ideally would like half this size.
Topic summary
A Shopify store owner seeks to reduce line spacing in product description tables, specifically wanting approximately half the current spacing.
Attempted Solutions:
- Initial CSS suggestion added to theme files did not work
- User confirmed only “theme.css” exists in their Assets folder
Proposed CSS Fixes:
Three different CSS approaches were offered:
- Targeting table cell padding:
.accordion__content.prose .table-scroller td {
padding: 5px;
}
- Using CSS custom properties:
.product-info__block-item table {
--table-cell-padding-block: 0.5rem;
}
- Targeting description block cells:
.product-info__block-item[data-block-id="description"] th,
.product-info__block-item[data-block-id="description"] td {
padding: 8px 1rem;
}
Recommended Implementation:
Multiple contributors suggest adding code via Customize > Theme settings > Custom CSS rather than directly editing theme files.
The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution yet.

Thanks so much. I added that at the end of the CSS file and nothing happened 
Check this one.
- From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
- Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
- In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
.accordion__content.prose .table-scroller td {
padding: 5px;
}
- And Save.
- Result:

I only have “theme.css” under assets and this didn’t work when I inserted
there.
Hi @coastalcoffee ,
Please go to Customize > Theme settings > Custom CSS and add code:
.product-info__block-item table {
--table-cell-padding-block: 0.5rem;
}
