Less is More: Case Coffee Table to Go
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 01.24.08

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?

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