Adjustable Height Coffee Tables

Types

So what types of adjustable cocktail tables exist? There are several types of these types of tables that you can go for. Round and rectangular-shaped tables are a common type among these convertible coffee tables.

If you're interested in getting a cocktail table that is resembles a regular dining table as much as possible, purchasing a round table would be your best bet. But if you prefer one that is relatively discreet and un-obvious, then a rectangular-shaped coffee table will likely be your preference.

Other features you'll come across are several with glass tops and X-shaped bases. Some offer a hydraulic lift along with ottoman-styled seating.

You'll also find one or two wooden veneered versions, but the majority will be contemporary, modern-styled tables with simple lines and a clean look and feel.

Features

It's true that many of these tables can adjust to various heights. However some do come with pre-defined height limitations, which mean that you may only be able to adjust them to 3 heights. The ones without such limitations will allow you more height adjustable options. So it's important to pay close attention to the heights allowed for each table since this will be significant to you.

Aside from that many of these tables not only adjust in height, but they also extend. So if you want to serve a relatively large party in your small home, a good idea is to look for an adjustable height coffee table that also has an extendable table top.
