people who have been to europe or japan know that space is often very valuable and it has to be used very carefully. well this holds true even in other places when people live in small homes or small apartments or even small condominiums. when you're in a situation like that you need furniture that's compact but still usable. a good example of furniture like that is this table that can lift up!

that's a spectacular table in my opinion. it can be a low table if you want but then if you need a higher table you can raise its top so that it's higher. it just offers so much potential! it can be used as a coffee table or a magazine table or a work desk or an eating table. it's hard to get that kind of flexibility and potential out of normal desks or tables.
