I’m rarely judgmental of how other people furnish their apartments because making a small space look good and function efficiently is no easy feat. But I do look back at my own choices and wonder, What the heck was I thinking? I feel this way about my lack of wall art, which I’m on a mission to remedy, as well as the fact that I just found out a way to add storage to the top of my toilet. But my biggest regret was not getting a coffee table with built-in storage sooner. Last year, I was using a basic old coffee table that my roommate brought over from her previous place. Aside from a couple of very slim shelves, it didn’t offer any spots to hide clutter. My new table has a lift-top, and after owning it for almost a month, I couldn’t recommend a convertible table more strongly.

I was browsing Songmics’ website for storage inspo when I came across yet another ingenious convertible table design. The VASAGLE Round Coffee Tables will not only significantly increase the amount of surface area you have at your disposal, but they’ll also help declutter your living room. Their design is nothing short of brilliant!

What Are the VASAGLE Round Coffee Tables?

Nesting tables have been having a moment, so you can hop on the trend with this two-in-one coffee table duo. The set actually comes with one coffee table and a smaller matching side table that nests under the large version. You can shop them in either a fully black finish or in black with a brown surface for the larger table. Their frames are made of sturdy steel, while the rest of each table is made from MDF panels and particleboard. What’s more, each piece has adjustable feet, so it’ll never wobble, even if you place it on a hard floor.

The tables can be arranged on opposite sides of the room or set side by side for more coffee-table space. When you’re done using them for the day, the smaller table slides seamlessly under the larger one, leaving your living room looking clean and free of clutter.

Why You’ll Love the VASAGLE Round Coffee Tables

Not only are the VASAGLE tables versatile, but the smaller one also has built-in storage. Its tray-style top lifts off to reveal a 17-inch-wide compartment that’s perfect for holding books, TV remotes, snacks, and more. If the larger table surface is looking a little crowded, you can simply swipe everything into the smaller table for easy cleaning.

If you ask me, the side table would also make a great nightstand for tiny bedrooms. At 16.5 inches tall, it’s the perfect height to place next to your bed, and its compartment could be used to hold all of your essentials, from lip balm to your glasses case. Any time you need an extra spot for drinks in the living room, just slide the small table out there to make guests feel more comfortable. It’s so easy to add to any space!

Together, the tables cost $110, but Songmics’ website almost always offers promo codes that you can apply to your purchase, so you’re sure to get the duo at a discount. The tables are just as functional as they are stylish, so what’s there to think about?
