Fluted detailing runs around the oval edge of this 39.4 inch coffee table, and the top panel lifts on a metal mechanism from 16 inches to 21.46 inches so the surface can serve as a laptop desk or a place to eat before dropping back to lounge height. Three concealed compartments open beneath that panel and take remote controls, chargers, magazines and board games, which keeps a small living room clear without adding a separate storage unit. The build combines MDF with pine and oak, finished in a water-resistant surface that resists rings from glasses and cleans up with a damp cloth. Solid wood legs carry the 36.6 pound frame, and rounded anti-collision corners lower the risk of knocks in homes with small children. Stored dimensions measure 39.4 by 19 by 16 inches, a mid-century oval footprint that fits between a sofa and a media wall in an apartment or a den. Assembly hardware, a wrench and wood dowels ship in the box.
