This black coffee table features a deep-well hidden compartment with approximately 4.5 inches of depth, offering more storage volume than many standard lift-top models. The unit is built using 15mm P2 Particle Board, which keeps the table lightweight and easy to move during home cleaning. The assembly process is straightforward, utilizing standard Phillips cam-locks that are familiar to most DIY enthusiasts.
The lift mechanism relies on mechanical spring actuators. Because these springs have high initial tension, the table requires a steady hand during closure to manage the speed. Specifications indicate a matte black melamine coating that helps repel water; however, it is sensitive to high heat, so using mats under hot food containers is a practical step to maintain the finish. The lifted surface is designed to support approximately 33 lbs, though balancing the weight toward the center of the table helps maintain stability.
Usage tips for this model:
- Distribute weight evenly across the lifted top to prevent lopsided pressure on the springs.
- Check and tighten the cam-lock hardware after the first month of use to ensure the frame remains rigid.
- Avoid sliding heavy objects across the edges to protect the melamine foil from chipping.
If your home decor leans more toward natural wood tones, the Rustic Wood Lift Top offers a similar storage capacity with a different aesthetic.
