I've seen others that the table top can be flipped over and be used as a smooth surface for activities, does this piece have that option?

The top itself (i.e. the entire surface) can't be flipped over as it is attached to the support legs. The three Lego bases can be taken out and flipped over, but there are dimples in the surface when you do this and it is not smooth.You could, of course, purchase something to put over it, like a piece of plexiglass, which would give you a smooth surface yet could be easily removed for Lego play.HTH,Tom

Short answer : noThe plastic Lego boards conceal a hole ( for anchoring) that would make it unusable for anything except a laptop / tablet surface. The production issues make this table a no go at the moment anyway. Good luck!

Because the riser comes up at an angle, if you put the top into the base riser reversed by 180, you'll have a fixed, non-adjustable tiltIt's unlikely that that was an expected way to use it, because there are no bumps on the table top to keep things sliding off when it's tilted.

No the bottom is not smooth. It has a beveled edge and then flat bottom. But, it will sit just fine on a glass top. I don't suggest sliding it around.

The top has cutouts and a pattern so it is not perfectly even. We have not had trouble with glasses on it but if you want a perfectly smooth or even top this is not. It is a very nice table and we have been enjoying it. Easy to assemble and seems great quality for the price so far.

No, the top surface is somewhat slick. No slip resistant coating like say a step ladder would have. I only use this as a stepstool in a very tight place, where my normal stepstool is too big. We use this more as a small portable side table, and, my husband uses for a seat while stoking fire in fireplace.

the top is slightly textured, when I write on a piece of paper on top of it the lines are a bit squiggley. I wouldn't recommend this table for what you want to do.

The top of the table has ridges but all the sides are very smooth on them. There is no potential at all for splinters. It's a beautiful piece...one of our favorites.

Yes. We rarely use the train side. We bought the table for the lego side. However, it is very easy to flip and use. My 5 year old loves it and still uses it almost daily to play with his legos.

Not really. It would not leave a smooth top. Also mine arrived broken and they would not refund or replace it. I had to super glue the broken parts to use. I was in a pinch and did not have time to return before my event. Poor quality.

Yes. The table can lay flat perpendicular to the floor in ita default resting position.

No, the top is not solid. Its a single sheet with the ends folded over to form the lip of the table. Hope I explained that correctly.

It is BOTH. The table top can be lifted up and out of the center holder, turned around, reinserted and it goes the other way. One way is flat and one way is slanted. it's easy to use it for both reasons on different days. it is also a very short table, or can be adjusted that way, for short people and kids who need a low work table or for their laptop or to eat on. They also make super TV tables, discard your cheap ones.

The top chair/seat part does not swivel. However the whole chair swivels easily because of the rollers underneath the chair. It's never been an issue for us, and I think it's safer that the top seat does not swivel. You wouldn't want child to push on the table or under counter and spin itself. :) We have had our boon for 5 years now and has been thru 2 kids and guests and we still LOVE it. Still looks cool and CLEAN and moves easily around on tile and hardwood. :-)

yes it is. I thought it would flip over but it does not so I have not gotten much use out of it.

The top is semi smooth. It's not textured but not as smooth as glass. Make note of dimensions; this table is VERY narrow.

No it doesnt but l love the table. It is very well made and I dont think you will have any problem with the top as it has a very smooth finish. Everything I have purchased made by coaster has been excellent!

I have used the top as a work surface. It is actually holding up really, really well. We have left wet wine glasses on it, served buffet of food on it, and it looks brand new. We are very pleased.
