What we’re eyeing at the moment: a simple and attractive foldable table from Ikea. It’s from the Ivar collection of unfinished-pine storage shelving, a line that we’ve admired for years (see it in New Classics: 8 Ikea Storage Pieces that Designers Love to Use (Over and Over). This new shelving and foldable table combo, though, hit stores just a couple weeks ago. The top folds down to create a table for three; closed, the compact unit is less than 12 inches deep, making it an ideal option for tight spaces.

Have a look:

Above: The entire unit measures 70 1/2-inches high, 35 inches wide, and 41 inches deep (when the table is down). It’s made of solid pine and can be painted or stained. (See Ikea Hack: DIY Furniture You Can Paint for more unfinished Ikea pieces.) Unlike other foldable tables, this one features storage.

Above: Tall and tidy. A small wooden tab locks the table in upright position; spin the tab up to release the table and fold it down.

Above: The Ivar Shelving Unit with Foldable Table can work both as a dining table and a desk; $140.
