Lift Top Coffee Tables
The time has come for greener living and for many of us this translates into paring down to the essentials. One thing we’ll always want to maximize is the space in which we live. Enter the lift top coffee table. Characteristically sleek and elegant, these crafty tables are also a great way to up your storage space so that you can do a little more living in your living room.
Blending form and function, the lift top coffee table was designed to act in two capacities to accommodate your needs. Firstly, there is storage space beneath the lid; that always comes in handy and is the primary feature of the table. Secondly, many lift top coffee tables allow the user to lock the table in at two or more heights so that you actually have a table of two or more heights.
There is a broad array of styles and materials to consider when shopping around for a lift top coffee table. Whether or not you select a low coffee table or a taller variety, you want to be sure that the table you buy is really going to harmonize with whatever furnishings you’re hoping to pair it with. The lines of the table should have something in common with the lines of the couch for instance. Generally, you’ll want to not drop a table in oak veneer amongst a room full of primary colors. If you have a sort of theme going, be careful not to make a wild departure.
Another element of the table you’ll want to keep an eye on is the construction of the lift mechanism which indeed gives the lift top coffee table its name. The joints of the metal structure should be sound and operate smoothly. If you run into some strange friction as you lift and close the top, keep in mind that you’ll need to open this top repeatedly for years. Make sure it will last. Many lift top coffee tables are outfitted with a system to cushion the locking mechanism when the top is lowered. You can think of this in the same way we’d think of shocks on a car. Much wear and tear can be avoided and the condition of your furniture doesn’t suffer just because you’re getting some use out of it.
Whether your aim is to increase your room’s storage potential or you need a table which can do double duty, you’re going to be happy with a lift top coffee table. Again, you do want to be sure you’re satisfied with the performance of the lifting mechanism and the overall quality of the product. Product reviews refer again and again to the function of the hinges because that is after all the focus of the table’s function.
Let’s take a brief look at pricing so that you can have some idea what to expect when pricing a lift top coffee table. Amazingly, these high function pieces are not that much more expensive than any other coffee table. That is to say, you could have a lift top coffee table for what amounts to a price increase of about twenty percent. Depending on the quality and materials of the table you select, you can expect the lift top, or similar, version to cost just a little more than the standard coffee table.
