Business Integrity

A surprising element about Harvil is the fact that this conversion top comes with a net and metal posts, something which most conversion tops lack. The company also offers a full refund in case you are not satisfied with the product, which says a lot about company integrity.

You will be reimbursed in case you find any defected, damaged or missing part. Assembly is also offered by the company with an additional fee, with free repair of damage during the 90-day warranty period.

Storage

Conversion tops are much lighter than regular tables and can be folded in half. There are some standard tables available in the market that can also be folded and stored. However, they still take a lot of additional space to be set up.

Who is this for?

Harvil’s conversion top is for any user who is looking forward to a versatile, space-saving conversion top that doesn’t require additional space to be assembled. You must have the dimensions of your existing table with you while purchasing this top.

Cons

Heavy Weight

Therefore, even if assembling and setting up is easy, due to its heavy weight, this top requires two to three people to set up and store every time you use it.
