Black Farmhouse Lift-Top Coffee Table with Shelf, 47.2 in

Rule of thumb: having a power drill (especially the hex bit) is handy, and flashlight because it will come in handy for the dark corners if your room isn't lit well enough when putting it together. The instructions were plain and simple, while the build itself is easy for a single person to put together; although a bit of assistance with the lid/top might come in handy. For a small room, it fits in well enough and it is light enough to move about easily. But I would suggest having sliders underneath the legs so they won't make a mess of the wooden floors, if you plan to rearrange things in the room often enough. It's durable enough for building a model or other crafting/drawing if need be, or just a general display table. The hinged lid makes for a handy dining tray although I wouldn't suggest having wet items, or sweaty objects (iced/cold drinks) directly on the table top unless you have coasters or such to help alleviate the rings. Same for hot plated foods, or those in takeaway containers (especially the paper ones). The interior storage is pretty sizeable, where it can hold your knick-knacks, remotes, cords/cables, controllers, books and other miscellaneous items. It's rather sturdy when it is closed but when the table top is extended out, I would suggest only having light stuff on it, since there's a good possibility of tipping over. I had no issues of it becoming off centered when opening the table top; although at times I do forget which side it will go up thus having to swap it around when I'm wanting the remote/controller or eating. Overall, the table looks quite nice and will be good for a small dorm or starting table for an apartment.

Materials are what you would expect. This is for a college dorm room. The materials look to be liquid resistant. The unit is sturdy. The storage space is big enough for a light blanket and remotes. Hinges seem solid and the lifts to open and close the unit seem to be reliable and easy to open and close. Assembly instructions were really good. Total assembly was about 30 minutes.

First of all it got here a week early which was awesome, assembly was easy enough. I recommend 2 people for the top part. Plenty of storage. Looks great in the living room and making game nights a breeze

This table was the perfect solution for us. My partner hates filing away papers he's going to need in the near future. Now he can keep them close at hand but out of sight. The lift action of the table is so smooth that glasses don't tip over and everything stays in place. The finish is very attractive, and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall sturdiness, although I'd have preferred another 1/2" thick piece for the bottom of the interior instead of a 1/8" piece. It was a little bit tricky to assemble with just one person, but I was able to balance pieces at critical moments using various bottles of vinegar from my kitchen. There were extra pieces of all the attachments, which was a nice surprise. I'm really happy with this item.
