Sweetcrispy Coffee Table Brown, Lift Top Coffee Tables for

Pop-up tray table is awesome. Great deal when on sale.
Pros:-Very sturdy-Lots of storage space-Faux wood looks good/real-Awesome deal when on sale (fraction of cost of similar items)-Pop up tray table great for eating while watching TVCons:-Made in China-Although relatively simple, the assembly is very tedious. Assembly uses a lot of screws. Solo, it took me about 2-2.5 hours, even with a good screwdriver. You’ll need a quality ratcheting screwdriver or even better, a powered driver to screw in about 60 screws, and in addition to that, some dozen or so locking wheels. If you used the provided “screwdriver” it would take MUCH longer and your hand would not function afterwards from cramps and soreness. An alternative is having at least an additional 1-2 people with a decent screwdriver each to divide up the task. With an additional person(s), assembly would take about 1-1.5 hours.

Fits almost any budget, extremely practical and chic
Assembly instructions were effortless to follow. The material of the table and hardware actually exceeded my original expectations I gathered based off the price. The woods integrity surprised me, to be honest. I wasn’t expecting much more than cheap particle board with a thin and feeble finish but in fact the wood is fairly dense and so far the finish has withstood hot ramen spills, rambunctious children, a rather clumsy husband, playful, large breed dogs and accidental chemical sprays that aren’t meant for its surface, without a single mark or abrasion left behind. It’s affordable in most cases and really adds a little character to the space. It’s versatile to say the least. It can be used as a simple coffee table, a desk, storage or all three simultaneously. I didn’t give it 5 star review due to a manufacturer error that was on my particular order that is plausibly a scarce occurrence. One bolt is cross threaded so bad on one of the hydraulic arms that it was completely ceased up and I couldn’t get it off in order to screw the hydraulic arm’s mounting structure into the wood without some difficulty. Which would’ve been fine except the bolt is ceased up closer toward the middle of the thread on the screw that holds the hydraulic arm in place which is supposed to be soft close. Because of this, the edge of the table top ever-so-slightly skims the brim of the stationary top next to it which makes the close a little more abrupt than advertised. Overall, I would highly recommend purchasing this piece of furniture to anyone looking for a new coffee table as it pairs well with almost any style home and will hardly leave a mark at all, if any, on your bank account.

Fair price, easy to assemble, ergonomic, nice finish
It took me a couple hours to assemble but instructions were easy to follow and the wooden boards weren’t too heavy. I did switch to my own screwdriver halfway through because I started to strip the one provided. Like anything you build, I would suggest tightening the screws only hand tight at each step, then go back for the final tightening before moving to the next step. (Hope that makes sense.) I tend to eat dinner while watching tv, so the lifted portion is a great help to keep from slouching. I think this was half the price compared to coffee tables with the same design but still good quality!

Overall I like it, but there are issues
I’m very happy with the look of the table. It makes a good companion for the 1940s loveseat I have. It’s quite heavy, and once assembled it feels extremely sturdy. For the price, it’s a good deal. So why did I give it three stars? Assembly was not complicated, but the included screws have to be some of the cheapest I have ever encountered, which made what should have been a very easy assembly a pain in the butt. And it also made assembly take twice as long. The screws stripped out at the first moment of tension. And before anyone asks, no, I wasn’t using a power drill or even an electric screwdriver. Just the power of my own arthritic hands. To make matters worse, the pilot holes were more like shallow divots, so the amount of strength and pressure required to get them started only exacerbated the issue of the screws stripping out. I’ve never had a problem like this before, and I’ve assembled quite a few furniture pieces like this over the years. So I’ll recommend it, but with certain caveats. You need a lot of hand strength and patience, or you need to be willing to go buy all new screws in the correct sizes.

I received it properly packed. There is no handle or space to lift the top like shown in photo. The partition at the right hand side is also different. The legs are not black.Functionality wise it works for us but received a different design.
