DIY Convertible Table

Space is at a huge premium in my tiny apartment, which is why I absolutely adore Noëlle’s hacked dual-purpose table. Using an adjustable trestle for legs (available at hardware or home stores), it can easily convert from a coffee table to a dining table. She even used a pair of curtain rods attached underneath the tabletop as a guide track for the trestle. I’m hoping that Noëlle can help me figure out how to make my couch convert into a workbench, though something tells me upholstery and soldering irons don’t mix well.

    Isn’t this just ironing board legs on an Ikea table top?

    Convertible table…. I find this is a superidea for somebody who has only one small home and must work at home with PC. But such tabletop would be suited certainly also for discussion rooms or conference rooms in companies, I would try to let patent the idea.
