OK, this trend is getting ridiculous. I just can't look away.

This one is pretty useful and clever, depending on price I might buy one.

I agree that folding multi functional table seat step combination is first rate

Another compilation; mostly new.

I like the soft close, but I wonder if you gotta get a perfect flick on it to close it correctly, and the reality is that half the time you walk into your bedroom you notice that the drawer is not completely shut.

You only need soft close doors and drawers when you were not a parent enough to train your millennail entitlement uh children not to slam the drawers and doors

I believe these are Blum motorized drawer slides.

I'd be Blum crazy if I could afford a housefull.

They are really helpful at Blum forwarding me a very expensive manual when I advised "I was a pro-handyman and had to service their products". Didn't even have to pic my portable blum hinge installation jig.

A well made wooden drawer will use the air to "soft" close even if one tries to slam it closed but takes lots of time getting tolerances correct: what in 50 or 100 years of use?

Table: the ends would need to be well locked esp at expansion end due to the angled slide. There is not much to support the pointy end on one side.

Great, in a limited space appartment/home for the occasional gathering, which could be 4 to 12 folk. I like it as you can extend as much as needed but where to store the panels? Bit like a round extending glass top table ( where to store the glass when extended) unlike the one shown elsewhere in "Homemade Tools".
