Re: thinking of a storage coffee table- pros and cons?
I'd do something like that as a storage ottoman. Frankly the cushioned topping doesn't look very valuable as a coffee table... but I guess it depends on what you use the coffee table for..... Ours is almost always more of a work station, or a food station. Both are better served by a hard top.
I have and LOVE LOVE LOVE a coffee table where the top lifts up. It is SO practical for the way we use our coffee table (dh uses it to work on his computer. we also use it as a snack table when we're watching movies).
SO I guess my first question is what are your primary uses for a coffee table? And woudl a cushioned top fulfill those needs or do you need a more classic hard top model?
