What Is the Lift-Top Coffee Table?
The lift-top coffee table is the piece of furniture you need if you have a small space, need extra storage or work from home. The top of the table lifts up and forward, creating storage below and becoming a functional workspace for your laptop.
The chunky frame is made from a light wooden walnut finish. It can fit up to 30 pounds inside and is perfect for storing cables, phone chargers, your laptop (and other electronics), books or board games. It’s finished on all sides to accentuate the wood and clean design. Up to 80 pounds can sit on the table when the top is closed, and it can hold 20 pounds if it’s open. The table even comes in a beautiful terrazzo finish for a trendier look.
