Less is More: Case Coffee Table to Go

Looking for a little more utility from your coffee table, or a little more space where a table might fit? Check out the Case Coffee Table, named so for its handy foldability -- it folds down into the case pictured -- that allows it to downsize and all but disappear when you're not using it.

The hinges on the legs are a bit clunky, and it's not the sleekest coffee table we've ever seen, but it's a great idea; think about how much less space we could use if everything folded up and went away when we weren't using it?

What a beautiful coffee table - and in wood, too.Good for the environment.

Why no discussion of this company's sourcing of Birch wood? Yet again, Treehugger promotes a product without any reference to its sustainability credentials.If "less is more", why bother with a coffee table anyway?

I have an old collapsible sewing table that is very similar to this. Works very well and is surprisingly large when opened up.
