Here’s the Tips You should know

1. Obviously their very name tells you what they are and what function they perform we know you know that. But one advantage is that because the top of the lift top coffee table just lifts off it may not be advisable around children who are just big enough to move the relatively light top.

Many of them will have assisted lifts so they have lift arms that hold the raised top up into a particular position. These are usually scissor arms made of metal. If the child then attempts to put the top back they can easily be injured by the metal scissor arms. Not to mention they will likely spill or know over whatever was on top of the table.

That being said, if you don’t have children of that age or will lock the table into position then you should be just fine.

2. Some models actually have 2 TV dinner style table trays built right in. This can be very convenient and rather fun as well. The two trays are on scissor arms that just lift up and you’re in business.

3. Lift Top Coffee Tables also have a great deal of storage in them which you can use for magazines, CD’s, DVD’s ect.. The other truly convenient and money saving part is that you now don’t have to go out and by even more furniture for shelves, cases and racks to put that stuff into, that is unless of course you have a huge DVD collection or something.

4. One more thing is that they don’t move around very much if you bump into them. Because they have more components and many of them metal they usually weigh a bit more than other models. In our minds this is a good thing as when the coffee table gets bumped as happens quite frequently drinks and food are less likely to spill.

A Lift Top Coffee Table is a great addition to any living room and something you should do quite a bit of shopping for to find just the perfect match for your needs. They can be harder to find than other standard coffee tables so you may have to check into everything that looks like it might be promising. But we feel that they are the best overall choice in coffee table purchases.

2. If your couch is an odd color take a cushion case/cover with you or take it next to your computer and look at it in relation to the coffee table you’re viewing. This will be really helpful to be sure you don’t get it delivered only to go ‘oh no” it is completely the wrong color.

3. Check your feet, that is to say the tables feet. If you have a tile or wood floor be sure to check that it won’t scratch it or that it won’t side easily. If someone bumps the table and it goes flying this is not good. On most surfaces a rubber pad will do quite well.

If you have very tight woven carpet be sure the feet aren’t sharp or they will cut your carpet.

If you’re on a light colored or white carpet metal feet are not advisable as they may rust with normal moisture and rust is a bear to get out of carpets or anything for that matter.

Your Wood Coffee Table Tips.

1. Be sure to 1st ask what type of a surface you will be putting your coffee table on. If it’s a carpet then be sure the feet are wide and flat enough so that you don’t eventually put cut marks or even holes into your carpeting. There is always vibration in a home, you have music, TV, home theater, big trucks outside and even thunder and lightning. If your furniture coffee table feet are too narrow or even sharp then they can eventually vibrate right through your expensive carpeting.

2. If you’re putting the coffee table on a tile or hardwood floor then for heaven’s sake don’t get feet with rollers on them. Or every time you so much as touch the table it may be just enough to move it and if you really bump into it, it could go flying. For tile and wood floors we feel medium width to wide soft rubber non slip feet and or feet pads are the best. You will likely prevent scratching you floor and you table won’t take off like a go cart just because someone bumped it. Not to mention if you have children.

3. If you have children then one thing you should definitely consider are the corners. Pointed corners on hard wood or especially with metal coffee tables (or those with metal capped corners) as you know can pose a serious risk to the safety and well being of small children. In this case you could use a relatively inexpensive round coffee table for a while or maybe consider some serious Doctor approved corner pads. Either way our view is safety before beauty. Be sure to take all needed precautions for your children if this happens to be your personal situation.

Once again, for what we feel is the best deal for both selection and price plus FREE shipping there truly is one place you need to see.

A really great Coffee Table can be the centerpiece of a well designed living room.
