Lift Top Coffee Table, Easy-to-Assembly Center Table with Hidden Storage Compartment, Modern Dining Table for Living Room Reception/Home Office, Walnut

I live in a small apartment - no room for a kitchen table let alone a dedicated dining area. I’ve been eating on a low coffee table for a while, it’s been terrible for my posture. There’s plenty of adjustable coffee tables here but I really liked the modern style of this one. It didn’t just look like wood planks glued together. I was a little nervous because with everything closed this table is actually shorter than my old one. But with the table lifted up it’s the perfect height to sit on the couch and eat without having to hunch over or hold the plate up. Plus I can use my laptop comfortably. Plus plus I LOVE having closed storage space where things won’t get dusty!My only complaints - and they’re very minor ones - are when lifting the table up it wobbles from side to side a bit. It’s stable once it’s up though. And it’s a little hard to life it with one hand. The other thing is the smaller side piece which slides out doesn’t sit flush when you push it back. Even if you give it a push there’s still a little gapHonestly the best part is that it came mostly assembled. All the finicky springs and inner pieces that everyone in reviews complains about in other tables come already put together. The screws for the legs are a bit small and fiddly, but I’ll take that over putting together an entire table any day! It was also the most well-packaged thing I’ve ever bought off amazon. The cardboard support and foam protecting the corners were so sturdy and solid my roommate actually kept them for craft projects. There’s not a single scratch anywhere I could find. I’m actually kind of sad this company doesn’t sell any other furniture.

The table was packaged very carefully to avoid any damage during transit. All I had to do was open the box and pop on the legs with the hardware and Allen wrench provided! The storage space inside is the expected size and the table lifts easily and I LOVE that it is a soft close top! So excited to play boas games, put my feet up, or use as an office space! Great product for the price!

By construction, I mean attaching the legs. Yep, it came almost completely constructed. I am very happy with this purchase. It looks exactly like the picture. Warning: It is super heavy because it is constructed so well. Lifting the table top requires a bit of strength and be careful of your fingers!

I was happy with how easy this was to assemble - just bolt on the 4 legs and you’re done! However the wood veneer looks very fake and is a lighter color than in the pictures that doesn’t match my other “walnut” color furniture. It also looks kind of goofy in person - like an ice cream sandwich on legs. I’m giving this to my Dad who doesn’t care about aesthetics- the swing top table works as expected and has a nice soft close. It’s very functional and sturdy, just not fitting with a midcentury modern vibe!

The table took longer to unpack than to assemble. It was well protected by the packaging, and assembly was no more than sticking the legs on.Many many pros, but we all know to scour the reviews for the CONS: 1. The legs attach by 4 screws each, which screw into nylon threads. This is a bit tedious and you have to be a little careful not to overtighten them so you don't strip the threads. This is a minor complaint, as it's still exceedingly simple to assemble and the legs feel very sturdy once attached (even though I think I may have slightly over tightened one of the 16 screws). 2. On the inside, the factory-installed hardware is hidden by cheap stickers that match the appropriate white or wood grain. From a normal distance, these are unnoticeable and fine. When you get really close, the stickers look cheap and hastily applied. A quick press of the thumb on each helps. This is such a minor complaint, it's like going out to a delicious dinner and complaining that the spoon was placed too close to the knife in the table setting - ridiculously nitpicky and easily fixed. 3. This is the only con that matters if you're deciding whether to buy this table in the first place: the product is not solid wood (it is accurately described in the amazon listing). This means it looks like typical fake wood. For being fake wood, it looks very good, but don't expect it to look like real solid wood. For me, and at this price, this works fine. It isn't as pretty as real wood, but it is more water resistant if we forget (read: never bother with) coasters, and is much more affordable. Just a factor to keep in mind as you decide whether this table will suit your needs/style.TL;DR: nice looking, cleverly designed, reasonably sturdy, well packed, extremely simple assembly, with three ridiculously minor potential cons that are vastly outweighed by the too-many-to-enumerate pros. Very happy with the purchase, would buy again.
