What is a lift top coffee table called?

A lift top coffee table is most commonly called a lift-top coffee table or a rising coffee table — names that describe the hinged surface that elevates from a flat coffee table position to a raised work or dining height.

The lift-top coffee table sits in a broader category sometimes labeled convertible or adjustable coffee tables, but "lift-top" is the standard retail and search term. The defining feature is a two-position mechanism: a flat position for standard coffee table use and a raised position that brings the surface up to a comfortable height for working, eating, or using a laptop while seated on a sofa. On the QHITTY Fluted Lift Top, that mechanism is an upgraded lifting device designed for smoother operation than the basic pivot hardware common in budget alternatives, with 3 hidden storage compartments beneath the top surface.
