This is the most unique coffee table and adds a whole new meaning to  table! The left side lifts up and stays up with hidden hinges! Now anyone 1 or several people can eat, enjoy a snack, without missing  your favorite tv shows. Also, the right side slides open and provides a large storage area. Ive had so many compliments on this coffee table! Its gorgeous and provides muli- functions. Ty Again Wayfair!
