Coffee Table | Removeable Top With Drawers | Scaled Version

Don't you hate it when you go to the living room and see a huge clump of items on the table? I certainly hate witnessing that sight. Most tables do not have places to store those extra items, making you look like a mess to incoming visitors.

This project was designed to solve that problem. It features a coffee table with a drawer of reasonable size and a liftable top that reveals a secret compartment that can hold even more items. To make the table look nice and neat, you can store remote controls, valuables, magazines, mail, or whatever.

This instructable will show you how to make this table and the steps to assemble it. *Disclaimer. We do not have access to the materials to make the actual size of the table so steps for creating it will be provided.*
