That's really neat! Love it! But instead of a bottom shelf on the floor, I'd add a shelf under the tabletop, that you'll access by lifting the top. It could be a neat way to store/hide away electronics and stuff from your coffee table

I built one with that idea a month or two ago; with the idea being I could store game controllers and board games in it. My wife flipped it around and we use it as a work space for everyone now that we're all stuck at home. It's great for storing everything but controllers, but it's very functional. I built mine to the height of the couch and it lifted laptops and notebooks perfectly onto our laps.

Nicely done and simple too! I like it. A couple things I would suggest - First, I would not recommend pocket screws for that frame. Such joinery is okay in some projects, but the way you screwed these together has superior strength to pocket screws. Second, some viewers might squawk at gluing the strip of wood across the boards due to wood movement issues. I don't think there's enough there to worry about in this project. But there will still be wood movement and the issue I think you're having with the top sticking is in the design. The lift top is striking the last board that is secured to the frame because there isn't enough clearance between the lift top and the fixed board. Wood movement will make that worse. That might not be as much of an issue in cooler months when the wood contracts, but it will be more of an issue come next May-July when things really swell up. So I would suggest either making the entire top a lift top, or for those with a hand plane or table saw to put a slight bevel along both edges of the adjacent boards. Something like 15 degrees and are complimentary like this // so that the lift top doesn't strike the edge of the fixed board and just nests together with it. I don't think you need weight for the top to not stick to that fixed board, but the base may need more weight for general stability.

That's a neat idea and the commercial hardware makes it easy- up and back with the table and you have a place to eat. I built something like that in college many years ago for our tiny apartment that didn't have a dining area. I had an old footlocker that was made with threaded inserts in the ends so I used it for a base. I built a top by laminated strips of wood ripped from pallets into a butcher block, then built my own pivoting arms. We could set our food on the table, sit on the sofa and pull the table up and back over our laps. I still have the butcher block but not the footlocker.

I love it. I would love to have one, which I know you could enclose it all around, that had storage in it & you couldn't see all the crap that I would but in it. In other words I would like to have the storage option in it.... lol... I live in a 2 bedroom house & need a lot of storage... lol... I'm not a lucky soul w/a 4,000 foot print. I got what I could afford & not break the bank. Plus side to my small house I was able to pay it off in 7 yrs so now I don't have a house payment. So much more freedom from debits it's a wonderful fellings to know I don't have to come up w/a house payment of $700.00 to $1,200.00 a month or more depending how big your house payment is. And it's only me & my husband anyways so it's just perfect for us & plus side is my grandparents built. And I love all the natural wood, not painted trim or windows, my grandfather used in the home. Again love that table. You did a great video on it & it looked like something I might try. Thank you for sharing Ana, Chris from Missouri

Your next task...learn how to weld and work with steel. I made a similar lift top coffee table (my base is square metal tube, welded, ground down, and painted rubbed bronze, and it also has a drawer beneath the top), and the additional weight of the steel and the drawer keeps it from tipping/moving when the table top is raised. Also, the drawer is a have to have give it consumes all the remotes, books, and even my laptop and tablet keeping the room much neater.
