These Coffee Tables are Not What They Appear to Be

A lift coffee table brings together form and function into a great combination. This adjustable table is simple in design and hides a great secret.

What sets this lift top table apart from others is its unique ability to rise to the height of your lap.

On first appearance, the 19 inch high table is just a simple everyday table but with a simple move the table rises up for convenience and function.

Legs are made in steel; bronze colored with a walnut finish, but it also comes in black.

Many find these to be perfect for working at home, using a laptop perhaps, or for dinners in front of the television.

What is really great about it, is that you can not tell what it hides unless you know what to look for. The streamline design and inner mechanisms make the coffee table design like any other run of the mill table.

Along with the added function is an area for storage which can hold magazines, folders for work, or the salt and pepper shaker.

Along with the coffee table, there comes also the  “Convertible Coffee Table”. Using the same idea that inspired the LiftTops, the second one lifts up to form a great dining room table able to sit up to eight people easily.

Both coffe tables are from Dwell UK and will easily fit in most living rooms.  The walnut finish will be ideal in contemporary rooms dominated by whites and soft colors.

The black finish is great for the more modern living rooms. The mechanism that controls the rising and lowering the table top is safe and strong with no fear of accidental collapses.

Those that find the need for the LiftTop or the convertible table will more than welcome the chance for such an inspired yet functional piece of furniture.
