Love it. Great especially since I have a game pc in the living room hooked to the tv , I keep the keyboard and mouse insode this when not in use. Open up, and its perfect height to use the kB/mouse from the couch.
I love the quality of the piece (real wood!) and how wonderful it looks in my living room. I am returning it for one main reason: I cant use it for the purpose I intended, which was to use the table to eat from. I cannot get the table close enough to me to comfortably eat off. If there were no bottom shelf, I could pull it closer. That is the big problem I have. Its also an inch or two short to use it to eat off, for my comfort, anyway. The minor problem I have with it is that it annoys me to have to get up, go on the other side of the table, and pull the knob to lower the table. I could have lived with that.
The positives: it looks wonderful when put together. I could not find anything comparable in quality or looks for a similar price when trying to find a replacement. The storage area doesnt have hardware that takes up much room or is in an awkward location. Except for the last two screws, it was really easy to put together. Overall, it was still quite easy. It is packaged carefully, with the consumer in mind. The styrofoam is shrink-wrapped, so you dont get all those little annoying white balls of static all over the carpet. The open storage at the bottom is a good size for a variety of containers. It is a great height to put my phone on to have hands-free video calls. Have I mentioned how good it looks?
Assembly tip: While youre waiting for your table to arrive, get yourself a straight Allen wrench. The one that comes with the table has the standard short end and long end. Even the short end is a few millimeters too long to turn the four final screws without running into the bottom of the storage space. You can twist just over 1/4 turn before you have to remove it and reposition. For at least two of the screws, you will not be able to see to do that (your head wont fit in the opening), which makes it time-consuming and annoying to have to keep repositioning. If you can find a straight Allen wrench, you will be grateful.
Bottom line: I wish it either met my pseudo-dining table needs or I could justify another use for it.
This was a breeze to assemble. I think start to finish it took us about an hour, and the way everything was packaged was magnificent. If youve ever put together anything from , this is SO much easier and faster. Our only real complaint is that its not quite as long as we were looking to get, but we knew it was going to be shorter than our old table when we bought it. That and two of the screws didnt want to sit straight initially, but again, FAR easier and faster than the multitude of things weve put together over the years, and it props our laptops up at just the right height to sit at on our couch. (We had been using tv dinner trays).
Were actually debating just buying a second one so that we have a his and hers and it would STILL be cheaper than the 48 one we were going to buy for $350....and would give us more space.
Great little coffee table, easy to assemble. Sturdy and not wobbly. The only little hang up is the lift top springs. They are hard and the table is light so you may have to use two hands. Otherwise I love this thing and it looks better than I expected. Worthwhile purchase. Hopefully those springs relax over time
I saw a review about the packaging being great and didnt think much of it, but omg yes it was amazing, no mess and so organized, I wish I had taken pics! I got the white washed finish, it looks like its supposed to, not that ugly pinkish color some whitewash comes in, its not chalky either, matte but smooth. Its made of pine I think, not particle board, I like that much better than a laminate but its a relatively soft wood so be careful how hard you tighten the screws. Im very happy with this purchase.
Update: Ive had the table for about 3 months now of daily use with children who dont use coasters, and we live in a humid climate so the condensation builds up. A quick wipe down and its as good as new. Does no damage to the table at all and doesnt leave rings.
Table was packaged very well!!! I am a handy person and enjoy projects. Total time was bout 30 min please read on about steps 5/6. Then assembly started, quick look at the instructions only 7 steps a sense of relief. it was going great until step 5/ 6. These steps have too do with 4 hex screws. These steps for just 4 screws took me 80% of the time. This is just due to the quite tight location and difficulty seeing the screw. 20 min later and few choice words for just 4 screws I had success. Just mentally prepare yourself for 5/6 it is doable just takes time. This would not have stopped me from purchasing such a reasonably priced sturdy table. I am happy with the end result. I recommend the product to anyone friends and enemies included but would want an invitation to watch them complete steps 5/6 for my own enjoyment.
I ordered black and received the correct color. There are several flaws (paint flaws, dings, etc) all over the table which doesnt bother me but If youre looking for perfect you might be disappointed. Overall even with some flaws I think it looks great and its super functional with awesome storage. Its big enough for two to dine on it and use it comfortably. Its my coffee table, desk, and dining table so you cant beat the functionality for a studio apartment. My biggest complaint is mine is still not put together properly because two of the cam screws broke during installation, they are too soft. I have to go to the hardware store and get better ones. Its sturdy enough to use until I can do that though. It was not easy to put together and wouldve been better with two people. Overall I am very happy with my table and would highly recommend it.

PERFECT!
I absolutely love this coffee table!!! Its the perfect size and I love the lift top function. So easy to put together and easy to use!
Perfect for pc keyboard in the living room!
Love it. Great especially since I have a game pc in the living room hooked to the tv , I keep the keyboard and mouse insode this when not in use. Open up, and its perfect height to use the kB/mouse from the couch.
Very easy to assemble, looks great rises smoothly.
My wife assembled this quickly and we have had no problems with the rising mechanism.
Adequate for watching tv while eating
Its more less easy to assemble but in general its served its purpose very well.
