Save Space In Your Man Cave with a Drop Table
You don’t have to live in a New York City studio apartment to appreciate a good space-saving piece of furnitue. Every bit of floor space you can conserve, the more you can use for other things.
Let’s say you primarily use your man cave for watching TV by yourself, but you also love to have friends over every once in a while. The kitchen is all the way on the other side of the house, so you don’t want to set up your drinks and snacks there. The perfect option for you could be a drop table.
These handy tables mount to the wall and can easily fold up of down to provide a flat surface. They’re convenient when you need them and out of the way when you don’t want them. They’re also sometimes called leaf tables.
Another great situation for a wall mounted drop table is as a seldomly used hobby bench. Perhaps you’re a Lego collector who displays his completed sets. You’re not going to tear them apart and build other things. That makes your constructing surface a seldom need. Spread your Legos out on the drop table, and fold it away when you’ve created your Millenium Falcon, Hogwarts Castle, or Empire State Building.
And , of course, you can use them for your work-at-home setup. But make sure you reward yourself with some quality man cave time after a long day!
Convenient Drop Tables
Here are some convenient drop table options for your man cave. They give you the space you need when you need it. And they get out of the way when you don’t.
Quick Bench by Latitude 59
With a butcher block top and a UV coating, the Quick Bench by Latitude 59 is a great space saver in your man cave. At four feet wide and more than 20 inches deep, this folding tabletop is ready for your game day food spread, 500-piece Lego set, or Funko Pop collection. When you’re not using it, the Quick Bench folds down to make more floor space.
Wall Mounted Folding Table
If you don’t need four feet of space but still like the wood look, the Wall Mounted Folding Table by MM MELISEN gives you all the folding action with less width. The table surface dimensions are 29.5 inches wide by 19.6 inches deep. It’s still plenty of room to spread out but doesn’t take as much room across your wall.
VIVO Wall Mounted Folding Workbench
If the wood look isn’t your style, the VIVO Wall Mounted Folding Workbench has a sleek black finish on its 43-inch surface. Steel supports complete the industrial look. This workbench would be a perfect theater room snack table for when you host movie nights with the boys.
Installing Your Drop Table
When you install any drop table, remember two important factors. First, know where your wall studs are so you can attach the table to them at as many points as possible. You don’t want the table to come crashing down on your lap the first time you lean on it. Second, use a bubble level or laser level to make your surface perfectly level. You don’t want round things rolling off. Keep these issues in mind, and you’ll have many years of use from your man cave drop table.
