I have one of those tables, I confirm it does work.
I recommend having an auxiliar table close by, where you can put all the stuff you cannot or needn't stick to the main table, like your tea, notebook, pencils, phone, tissues, usbs and external memories...
Bonus points if you put the auxiliar table out of your view to avoid getting distracted by the realm of handy objects.
I still cannot assure you you won't break a cup or two (and maybe a floor tile) for putting it in the main table when this is not inclined.
