This $80 Coffee Table Looks Like Solid Wood and Has Storage

"Rachael's apartment is featured in a compilation of apartments costing less than $2,000 per month. While that budget is still steep, in New York City, it generally means downsizing."

"What makes this mid-century modern-inspired coffee-table special is that it has more than one function. When open, the table provides almost a foot of storage, but the top also elevates to become a workstation or dining area."

"The configuration Rachael has in her home comes in five wood stains, but you can also try other layouts. Some even have LED lights installed to make it easier to grab things in the dark."
