Okay so this coffee table is my absolute favorite piece of furniture in my new apartment. Its also a perfect dupe for the more expensive $200 table from wayfair and I highly recommend this one over Wayfairs.
So now for assembly. A few other reviews mentioned that the lift top part of the table was not very sturdy and I figured out why some people have that issue.
During assembly there is a part in the instructions where you have to disassemble the hydraulic lifting mechanism and then rescrew on the nut after the piece is attached to the table. When you are doing this part, you need to make sure that you tighten BOTH NUTS. You are only actually directed to unscrew one side of the hydraulic mechanism, but the other nut on the side that you are not instructed to mess with is not completely tightened when it comes from the manufacturer.
I included a picture so you can see exactly which part you need to tighten.
This is where people run into problems with the sturdiness and wobbliness of the lift top part.
So pay close attention to all parts of the assembly. It took me about an hour and a half to assemble by myself.
The top wood grain piece is also cut from one singular piece of wood, so you have to make sure the grain lines up the right way to ensure perfect fit.
SO again, make sure that you tighten BOTH nuts on BOTH sides of the hydraulic mechanism and you will have an absolutely gorgeous and incredibly sturdy coffee table.
BUY IT!!!
READ THIS BEFORE ASSEMBLY. ALSO BUY THIS ASAP
