VASAGLE MIRANTA Lift Top Coffee Table with Storage

Overview

The Vasagle ULCT268KB01S is a lift-top coffee table from the MIRANTA collection, with a gas spring mechanism that raises the tabletop for use as a desk or dining surface. Built from particleboard and MDF, it holds up to 220 pounds and includes a hidden compartment plus an open lower shelf.

This is the storage-and-lift version in Vasagle's honey brown lineup, aimed at small apartments and dorms where one table needs to cover coffee table, desk and dining duty. The 220 pound rating is well above what a flat coffee table typically needs, which matters if the raised top will actually be used as a desk or eating surface rather than just for looks.

• Gas spring lift top for desk or dining height
• 220 lb weight capacity
• Hidden under-top compartment plus open lower shelf
• About 30 minute assembly, MIRANTA collection honey brown finish

Who it's for

Apartment and dorm dwellers who want one table to serve as a coffee table, a laptop desk and an occasional dining surface without buying three separate pieces. Less useful for anyone who only wants a static coffee table and will never raise the top.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The gas spring is what lets the tabletop rise smoothly rather than needing to be lifted and locked by hand, and it is rated to support the table's full 220 pound capacity when raised. That capacity comes from a mix of particleboard and MDF rather than solid wood, so the strength is in the engineered panels rather than the material itself. Storage is split two ways, a hidden compartment under the lifting top for smaller items and an open shelf below for books or blankets, and Vasagle estimates about 30 minutes to assemble with the included tools.
