estis caught me on the webcam with my table up - probably eating breakfast this morning and asked about it and then asked for pictures. Hey, when I'm asked... I deliver!

Several years ago I was in a furniture store buying a couch and the sales guy sat on a couch to fill out the paper work. He reached down and popped the top on the coffee table in front of him and it magically came up to a nice height in just the right place. I immediately added it to my order and it's been wonderful. I would like it to be a bit higher quality but it sure works. When I get filthy rich and hire my interior decorator, I will get that decorator to find me a wood working artist to fashion me a high toned one. Until then...

This is it normally with the top down.


This is it with the top up.


And another view.


It opens very easily with a flick of the wrist so to speak and has that elevator action to close - meaning it kind of glides down instead of plummets.

It's what I do best!

Wow, who was the furniture manufacturer?

[susandennis]

Sorry, I have no idea. I did look under the table (nothing) and even dug out the receipt to learn that I bought it in January of 1998 for $299. Well worth every penny.

Cool table! Even cooler CATS! Are they siblings? They are very cute!

[susandennis]

Well, thank you muchly! They are good kids. But not siblings. Betty (on the chair) is about a year old and Jake (on the couch) is 14. If you are into kitty pix, here's their 'scrap book'.

I have oft times admired that table and wondered where you got it. The perfect marriage between TV trays and a coffee table!

Hah! I saw you there tonight at about 5:30. I thought to myself, "look at Susan's table. it's tall now. I've seen those before."

and indeed, we had looked at these probably about 8 or 9 years ago when we were out looking at 'home theatre' stuff.
yeah. about 8 or 9 years ago, when I was still worried about small fingers getting smashed or nipped off in something like that. so, we didn't get it.
