Due to limited space in our apartment, we opt to to keep the “less often used” furniture out of sight (as much as possible). But when when families & friends are here for some fun poker game, to hang out, have some food, beer and whiskies, they demanded for an extra table or 2. Having limited space to sit their drinks and snacks aside, I need an extra table, but I don't want it here when it's done. So my solution is to construct a retractable wall table using a LACK coffee table and that will never take up additional space when I don't really need it.
This is our dinner / poker table with never enough space for food / drinks (because we treat our guests too well) when everyone is seated.
