Benefits of technology

[0010] A furniture piece, typically a table, which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing includes a storage compartment for storing compact disks, video tape cassettes and the like. The storage compartment includes fixed and adjustable dividers to separate and support the various items stored therein. The storage compartment is a space within the table with a secure bottom and sides but with a slidable table top (or one or more segments). Thus, the storage compartment is adapted to be concealed from view thereby to produce an uncluttered appearance. Another advantage of the slidable top is that items placed on top of the table need not be removed to access the contents of the compartment. These items can merely move with the slidable top section and be returned to the original position along therewith.

Problems solved by technology

However, the towers and crates are, generally, not attractive and frequently do not blend with the decor or fashion of the surrounding room or space.
Likewise, the conventional drawers are not often convenient for the user and, as well, utilize otherwise valuable living and / or storage space.

Of course, it is contemplated that the cabinet 101 can be constructed to rest on the floor wherein supports or legs are not required. Also, representative hardware 113 such as knobs, handles or the like is shown. However, the hardware 113 is not limitative of the invention, per se, and can be eliminated altogether if so desired.

[0017] The top of the table 100 is formed of two slidable sections, viz. sections 103 and 104, respectively. (It is contemplated that a single slidable section could be provided but this arrangement is less desirable.) The slidable sections 103 and 104 move outwardly from the...
