The coffee table itself is beautiful. The quality of the materials was better than expected. The instruction booklet was lacking from step 8 on. We enjoy Tetris but the diagrams were exasperatingly difficult to tease out even with a magnifying glass! Fortunately, it wasn’t our first rodeo.

I love it! Four stars because the bottom board is unfortunately flimsy (wish it was same as top piece for strength), because the table slides when trying to open or close top (carpet should fix that no problem), and because the top slams if don’t guide it all the way down slowly. It was easy to assemble until the last step, the top part was awkward for one person, would recommend two. If the bottom board was thicker and stronger it would be absolute perfection. Also don’t know if there are supposed to be slight gaps at the sides, maybe that is user error and maybe that is why it slams slightly.

This table was difficult to assemble.

One of my favorite apartment purchases ever! This coffee table gets so many compliments, has extra storage, and also doubles for eating or doing work at the couch.

Nice table at a great price but putting it together took longer than expected.
