Instructions could have been more detailed for beginners, but if this is not your first project you will be ok.

When I made this table I was just getting into woodworking. It was a real pleasure to put together. I used oak with a Chestnut finish. I can not count the compliments I have gotten on it. I just gave it to my brother and people still love it to pieces. The plan was very good and easy to follow.

I am working on this coffee table now in my woods class in high school. The plans are very strait foward and even though i work only around 45 mins a day on the coffee table it still will only take me two months to build! I did replace the cherry for oak though. Oak almost looks better for this project!

I built the Woodsmith Convertible table from the plans found in Woodsmith Magazine, and found the plans well thought out and straight forward. I substituted all solid oak for the cherry, mostly because all of our furniture is made of oak. The piece is very heavy however. If I had to do it all over again, I would use oak veneer plywood where able. All in all, this was a great piece to build.

Overall this is a decent product. I found to be pretty expensive. However, the dimensions given were incorrect. The mechanism actually raises closer to 8", not the 6.5" advertised. When it is fully extended the top is left somewhat unlevel with a very slight slant down away from the table. But, I must say it does hold its weight. It is a solid hinge that can withstand a significant load. If you can justify the $ for the hinge than be sure to plan for the proper dimensions. For me though, it would be worth it to fabricate a home-made hinge and save the money.

I made my table with these plans and the lift mechanism. I used nine different wood so to show the beauty of them. I use the table in apartment which is above my wood shop. The lift is pricey but will last a long time.

I have begun using the plans for the convertible top table. The plans are pretty clear in the intructions, but the cutting diagrams get to be confusing if you don't read the plans first. I decided to use oak in place of the cherry on account that cherry is pretty expensive. I also used my own lift mechanism to raise the top since the price is pretty steep for the hardware. I grabbed one from a family member who was getting rid of an old convertible table. There are a lot of rabbet and dado cuts but are very simple. Overall I would say that the plans are great, the table is being built smoothly and I look forward to completing it. I will update when I complete construction. I am a pretty new woodworker and I would say this prioject is not very difficult and is a great addition to any room.
