Compact and multifunctional tables-transformers are available in various versions. Each of them has its own technical characteristics and features. Let us consider in more detail what types of coffee tables offer us modern manufacturers. Conventionally, all models of transformers can be divided into two main categories:

• Folding sizes that can be adjusted on your own. Such varieties operate due to the presence in them of a special adjustment mechanism. The most common variant called "book".
