As with other pressed-wood furniture we have owned, this one came out of the box with some dings and more than a little dust. Fortunately, the dings were pretty much hidden after assembly, and we were prepared to wipe all the surfaces down with a dust rag during assembly. Vacuuming the floor after assembly is a must.
Assembly was generally pretty easy, requiring about a half an hour, and possibly a bit less time than that. We took great care to avoid stripping screws, which is a problem we have had in the past with assembled furniture. Sometimes even snug either strips a screw or feels as though stripping is close. There are a couple of annoying places that need assembly because those spaces are tight. Having a right-angle ratcheting wrench that has an array of inserts was useful during assembly, though not required. Fortunately, the lift-top assembly was already put together, so most of the assembly is matching parts and tightening screws.
Once assembled, this coffee table is sturdy with lots of storage. There is some storage under the lift top, and more storage on the open lower shelf. The lift-top locks into position to reduce the chance that the top will collapse back onto the table, which is handy when using the lift-top for a computer or for hobbies.
Note also that this table is relatively heavy. We assembled the table in an area where we thought we would use it, but if we need the table elsewhere, it will take two of us to lift and move the table.
Our assessment of value is average to slightly above average. While the coffee table is more expensive than many other coffee tables, the lift top brings a lot of value to this coffee table, raising the value significantly in our mind. Further, we like the storage under the lift top, which is large enough to be useful, and the storage shelf provides significant storage for books, computer accessories, etc.
Our overall assessment is five stars. We could have wished that the screws were sturdier and hardened to reduce the risk of stripping the screws when tightening screws, but we managed to assemble the table without stripping anything, this time. On the other hand, assembly was reasonably easy, and everything went together well. We love the lift top and the hidden storage. The lower shelf is a great place for books, files, computer accessories, etc. For functionality, this table appears to be a winner.
Enjoy!
We had a similar coffee table years ago, from a furniture store so you KNOW we spent the big bucks for it! THIS coffee table needs some assembly, but the price makes it SO worth it. It is black matte but it goes in my room where I have that deep espresso brown and other brown colors and it looks great. Please forgive the lighting...it looks brown, I know, but it IS matte black, so if you want/need black, order the black, you wont be disappointed! My husband assembled this before I even knew he had it out of its shipping box. Went together in no time, he took the extra step in wood gluing the wood dowel pieces that went into assembly too, and honestly I dont think it took him 30 mins.! The only thing he said he thought could use some tweaking in the design area was the center divider was odd to put in, I dont know, I wasnt in there lol. He also said that the screws needed to be larger in diameter as it is easy to strip the screw holes with the hardware, the holes are THAT close in size to the screws...but he just found some larger replacements for the couple that did get stripped, and it worked out. I love that it has a bit of covered storage, good for things you want handy but not sitting out all the time. Plus the open storage below is nice. All in all for the price being under 140.00 this is a nice little piece of furniture, its SO convenient to sit at with your dinner too while you watch TV. I would suggest this to anyone, especially anyone who is starting out and needs all the bang their buck can get them!
Nice looking, good wood. Comes in a compact box, was well packaged, dosent have too many pieces. Comes with the four main pieces and some screws. Has all the required bolts and screws packaged nicely in one place. Directions have pictures and are labeled. Table is a nice size for a living room and has a feature that lets you lift it up and use it as a stand and put things inside. Has a good amount of room under the table to also put some items. I like this feature and I think the wood looks to be of a good quality and is a nice piece once assembled.
I am extremely pleased with this Lift-Top Storage Table
Some people say quality its bad, but its false. Those days all furnitures are so cheap and expensive. This one is in real wood, not MDF. Its solid. So hard to find real wood furniture at affordable price
I was looking for a quite smaller coffee table than the others on the market. Im incredibly pleased with it.
5/5 finish is beautiful
This coffee table is exactly as advertised and far exceeds my expectations. It arrived on time, was delivered right to my door. It was very easy to assemble (already partially assembled) and very sturdy! Makes sitting at the couch and having a work station or somewhere to put you dinner, very comfortable. Plenty of storage and easy access to all compartments. Highly recommend.

Lift top Coffee table
Sent me the wrong color.But overall pretty well built.

Versatile and sleek look
The top of this coffee table lifts to give you height when needed, and also makes a nice cubbyhole to put a few books or magazines.
