The extendable lift table is primarily a living room table that can be installed near your sofas. It is equipped with an innovative lifting system which allows it to be changed into a dining table very easily. It is also extendable, meaning the coffee table has extensions to make it larger.
The mechanism for raising the extendable lifting table: piston or electric
To be easy to raise, the extendable lifting table is equipped with a gas spring mechanism. This assistance system avoids having to force when raising the table. By activating the mechanism, the table rises effortlessly. The lifting system is then most often composed of tubular metal legs forming an X. Some extendable tables are optionally equipped with an electrical system which allows the table to be unfolded effortlessly.
In this case the mechanical system is integrated into a very stylish central foot. The central foot has an elevation mechanism assisted by electrically actuated cylinders to allow particularly easy handling. The base is also equipped with invisible casters to move the table effortlessly.
Removable or butterfly extensions to extend the extendable lift table
The extendable table top can also be equipped with different systems:
- The folding table is the easiest to use. Simple extensions can be unfolded on either side of the top to widen the surface.
- Sliding extensions consist of thin shelves hidden under the main top.
- The wallet system is the easiest to use on a daily basis. It allows you to convert your living room table into a large dining table.
- The butterfly system is made up of shelves under the top which pivot to extend the table.
- The central extensions provide great stability and give the top additional thickness.
What budget for such a coffee table?
Like all convertible furniture, the extendable lift table is more expensive than a simple coffee table. Allow at least 500 euros for a high-quality, designer model and up to 2,500 euros if you want to enjoy an ultra-comfortable large-format dining room table. The price varies depending on the materials, the lifting system and the type of extensions chosen.
