This is a tough one. Please send in your comments and answers below...
Living in NYC or other cities, often there's not enough room in tiny apts. for both a coffee table and a dining/work table. I have searched the city and can't find anyone besides Maurice Villency, that has coffee tables whose heights adjust to dining/work level. Ironically, those who can afford Maurice Villency probably have no need to save space. Have you seen anything like this out there at the Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn coffee table price range?

After browsing the web for an ergonomic adjustable computer table I found a product called the NewHeights Electric Tables. These tables seemed to be reasonably priced compared to many of the other tables found on Google. I ended up rolling the dice on this 24" x 48" adjustable table with the black base and dark cherry top. It looks great and work wells too; very stylish. Being able to sit and stand throughout the day has helped make work much more pleasant. I recommend this table to anyone looking to spend some real money on an ergonomic workstation. The benefits out weigh the cost 10 fold in my opinion.
Hi there everybody.
I'm the director of the IDFdesign furniture website.
Visit the lift and height adjustable section:

You can see the best of the latest italian production for the home or residential. Not expensive, not extreme design, just user friendly.
Ok, all the tables are from the source, the producers, so instead of contacting the company, print the table page you like and the company info page, then go to your nearest furniture retailer and ask him to order it for you. Sometimes it takes much less of what you think to get the table.
The problem is:
if you contact the producer through our quote request, they are used to deal with retailers, and can't sell directly, so they probably don't reply... for the sales office representative have not enough grey matter to get you the local retailer nearest to you.
Cheers,

Everyone's posts are great. I'm looking at all the suggestions, but like the brookstone's version cause it has storage. I'm looking for a table to use in an office/study room. I hate working at desks, but we need all the storage we can get.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

It is possible to purchase the spring-loaded mechanism for a lift-top coffee table if you were up to building the table yourself or having one custom built.
I'm very certain they have one listed in Outwater's catalog, though I'm not going to go digging for it now.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this (in the photo) a BoConcepts table?

I have one of their salon couches and a table and I think they'r equite a bit better made than Potter Barn (miles beyond Ikea) and only a bit more expensive. I think this table is well under $500, but I'm guessing...
Jensen Lewis sells Calligaris and does special orders. They're wonderful to deal with (I worked with their Internet division).
Do NOT buy from Gately's aka Sleek Spaces! Do a search including the store name(s) and "complaints" and you'll find out why. I had to use Amex to resolve my complaint. It took MONTHS.
As lovely as the pictured table is, I can't help but dwell on the disaster of the inevitable spilled drink. Knock over a glass of juice and all the magazines and remote controls stored in those little cubbies are going to be soaked.
I WANT THE ONE THAT IS IN THE PHOTO OF THE TOP OF THIS POST. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT BRAND THAT ONE IS? I KNOW I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE BUT CAN'T REMEMBER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I've also been madly researching convertable/collapsible coffee tables and have only come across one design I would purchase:
www.formafunzione.it
The piccolo or trendy rectangle are ideal but pricey. They also don't currently have any Canadian retailers but I'm not sure about the US. The company responds to online enquiries, I hope you enjoy their tables as much as I do!
