"It helps you save a considerable amount space, then it is a dinning table and a tea table in one. With a single hand movement you can set its height as you choose; and that without needing to first clear the table" So introduced Swiss furniture manufacturer Horgenglarus the so called Bally-Verstelltisch, or S.T.
