Scissor lift mechanism - where to buy?

[MrYorke]

I have a small decked area in my garden so I would like it to be multi-use.

I would like a low level "coffee" table which can then be raised to then be used as a dining table.

I've briefly looked at how to do this and the easiest I can see is to buy a scissor lift bench/table and use the mechanism to make my own by adding a timber top etc.

Is this a good idea or is there something else I should look at? Or where can I buy just the mechanism as everything I find is already a complete table/bench/platform......although they are not too expensive. Few hundred £

Cheers
