Dot & Bo's table-shelf is an amazing dual-purpose furniture piece that does two very different jobs.
The one constant in both designs is the iron base, which stays the same. But when you're looking for a change, the five shelves of the storage unit flatten out and rotate to serve as the tabletop surface. It seems like it would be a hassle to have to clear off the shelves every time you need a flat surface for dining or entertaining, but otherwise, the way the table changes from one piece of furniture to another is really quite impressive.
The Convertible Shelf Table by Dot & Bo is priced at just over $1,000, which will make fans of extremely flexible furniture very happy—not to mention it will totally wow your house guests when they come to visit.
