What are convertible coffee tables? They're cocktail tables that convert, transform or shift into a particular shape.
They sum up a small selection. Namely, adjustable-height, flip-top, expandable and lift-top coffee tables.
Small Coffe Tables
The benefits you receive from a these tables are dependent upon which one you choose. Generally, convertible cocktail tables are a favorite among small households due to their ability to reduce down to a compact size and expand to double the size in dimensions. They're also usually dual-purpose or multi-functional which means they combine two or more functions into one.
The Different Types of Convertible Coffee Tables
Adjustable Height
These are cocktail tables and dining tables combined. They work for small homes such as studio apartments, lofts and dorms that are in need of both a coffee and dining table but only have room for one. They adjust to dining table height--often giving you free reign over what height you want to adjust the cocktail table to. Various ones on the market also extend, meaning that they not only adjust in height but that the table top doubles in size so that you may seat between 4-8 guests at the table.
Flip-Top
These are basic cocktail tables with an extra advantage - they offer you the ability to work on a larger surface if your needs require it. Generally, the construction of flip-tops is relatively simple. It has flaps or leaves that fold in and out, giving you the flexibility to reduce or expand the size of the table top. These are the preferred choice when your needs for a larger work surface are temporary.
Expandable
These are very similar to flip-tops, with the exception of how they extend. Generally, these type of tables slide out from one side or the other, thereby increasing the size of the body and top.
Lift-Top
These are cocktail tables and desks combined. They're also perfect for small spaces because they allow you to lift the cocktail table top up and use it as a writing surface, so that you can perform small writing tasks or use it for computing tasks, by placing your laptop on it.
The one thing to keep in mind is to make absolutely certain that whatever lift-top you're interested in lifts up to the height of your needs. This may require that you write the retailer to find out how high the table top will rise since many don't mention the raised height in product descriptions.
Which One Should You Choose?
In the end choosing the right convertible coffee table for yourself is a matter of discovering which needs are prominent in your household.
To discover your needs, you need to ask yourself several questions?
Do you need a one that will take care of temporary needs or something more permanent? Temporary needs are often simpler. Generally a if you need a coffee table to server one need like the need for a large work surface on occasion your desires can be satisfied with the use of an expandable or flip-top cocktail table.
Permanent needs are a little more complicated and require that you use a piece of furniture more frequently and to serve more than one need. In this case, an lift-top adjustable height coffee table might be best.
Whatever the case, choosing the best one is a simple task once you understand what each one does, what your needs are and what tasks you need to accomplish.
