Wow!  What an amazing coffee table!  This table has shelving at the bottom and storage inside.  The table doesnt have a lot of inner storage because of the other table pieces that lift, but there is room for some items.  The table lifts up to meet your needs.  You can use it in so many ways.  I love that when it opens fully, the area is large enough to use to play games on, work on, or use instead of a dining table.  The table is great quality and very sturdy.  This coffee table did take about an hour and a half for one person to put together.  This is definitely a great looking coffee table and one of my favorites!
