5e Dmg Magic Item Tables

Do you commonly use the Minor Properties table for magic items from the DMG page 143?
The idea is that any magic item should have some additional magical quality to make it unique. This is fitting with the 5E assumption that magic items should be relatively rare.
I like the idea of using these. But admittedly, I haven't really done it.
The list is too brief really. I've been going through my 4E adventurers vault looking for additional properties that I might apply. The frustrating thing about the 4E books is that they didn't include any tables to randomize. I agree that you should choose items that make sense in context, instead of taking one at random. But 'roll until you find one that fits' is a good approach, and sometimes the random result can spark an idea that grows into something more.

The Dungeon Master's Guide provides a series of Magic Item Tables lettered A through I (pp. 144 to 149), organized for random treasure selection. Xanathar's Guide to Everything introduces a distinction between minor magic items and major magic items as a broad categorization (p. 135) in addition to the common, uncommon, rare, very rare, and legendary rarities introduced in the DMG. Feb 18, 2016  The DMG, in Chapter 7, presents random magic item tables. Can anyone offer any insight into how these are constructed? What determines whether an item goes in.
