The Schulte Design Matchbox Coffee Table is Brilliantly Functional

Maximize your living space without sacrificing modern fixtures with the covert Schulte Design Matchbox coffee table. This dual-purpose countertop slash fireplace offers home owners a sneaky way to integrate a cozy hearth.

The coffee table looks ordinary when fully closed, but comes with a surprising twist when slid open. The center of the table can be equipped with a sleek, ethanol-powered fireplace that is safe and space-efficient. If storage is your primary need, the table can also be ordered with a roomy insert instead of the heat-bearing fire feature. The table comes in a number of finishes, ranging from an elegant all-white lacquer to a rustic walnut exterior. Its streamlined, linear profile adds flair to any contemporary living room.

The Schulte Design Matchbox coffee table is ideal for those seeking multi-functional furniture that is stylish and practical.
