I would love to be a mouse in the corner when someone throws this away because they are tired of clearing everything off of the top to get to the stuff inside it.

 

I have one of these in my family room. I love it!
But mine has doors in the front so you dont have to open the top to get inside. Its great when I want a table to do personal study time or sometime I eat at it. Very handy.

Also a great place for a blanket and pillow when Im in the dog house:wacko::ph34r:
Just kidding, I dont have that problem with my wife.:wub:

Here's an open and a closed version. You'll have to change the materials, but they are separated out so that you can do a ribbed texture on just the sides. It isn't as fancy as something @Renerabbitt would do with a cabinet that allows you to open the top, but it's a quick shot at something that should function.

Up for a challange

I would pay for someone to create this for me. Unless it already exist somewhere.

 

Wood Coffee Table with Lift Top and Hidden Storage Compartment.

This would be perfect for these ADU's im designing becasue most of them are tight spaces.

This already exists in the furniture world and is usually called a lift top coffee table or rising top storage table, so you may not need to design it from scratch. Many manufacturers sell versions with the same mechanism using standard lift hardware kits that can be modeled in Chief by building a simple cabinet or custom solid, then adding a hinged top and applying the correct dimensions. If you want a custom version for your ADUs, a local cabinet shop can build it easily using off the shelf lift mechanisms like those from Häfele or similar suppliers, which keeps cost down compared to a full custom fabrication.
