I bought a lift-top coffee table from a big box store almost a decade ago. It's entirely particle board and has seen better days cosmetically, but it's probably my single favorite piece of furniture. It's immensely practical for meals, using a laptop, or just bringing your remote/drink/whatever closer to your hand when laying down on the couch. I instinctively try to lift other people's coffee tables when I visit, and am mildly annoyed when it doesn't work...

I see you've met my wife!

I find that mostly works fine, but is a little precarious in a busy kitchen, and I also like to compress a softer bread just a little bit when I tie it up. Probably placebo, but it feels like I'm helping it stay fresh longer.

I mean how long does a loaf of sliced bread actually last? 20 slices, give or take? two people making lunch sandwiches, that's five days per loaf. there's usually enough oil and preservatives to last a couple of weeks. (if you're wanting to bake your own sandwich bread, I highly recommend adding a some olive oil to the dough. it helps it last longer and helps produce a tighter crumb.)

I only really had a problem with sliced bread going stale when I lived alone.
