But once you have that, there aren’t many types of coffee table that can stand up to compete against a lift top coffee table with storage. We’ll try to use some words and photos to show you what you mean but a lift top coffee table with storage is exactly what it sounds like:
- The table top has a hinge mechanism that allows it to lift up!
- First obvious advantage is there is usually some hidden storage space available under this lift-able top
- Second, and possibly more importantly, this adds multi-purpose functionality to the table. It makes the table top more accessible from your couch or sectional and you can use it as your workstation when you wish to

- Acts as a far more convenient workstation that a regular coffee table would be able to manage
