Lift Top Coffee Table with Mesh Cabinet Door

To start off, these are my true opinions and I was not compensated or given any discount, just want to help those out there trying to find a quality lift-top table. This table is the real deal. I looked at dozens of lift-top tables on Amazon and other sites trying to find the perfect one. Some had a too small lift top, some were in the wrong place for me, some didnt have storage other than under the lift-top... Then i found this. I just finished assembling it, and I can say despite the horror stories i've read about putting together these type of tables, this one was very simple. It took about an hour and a half (it does say two people should do it, but I had no issues by myself, although it may have gone a bit faster with a helper), and nothing was overly difficult... Just follow the directions and you're fine. Here's where this table shines for me: -It isn't overly large, but it is bigger longer than most of the tables in this price range, and a bit taller, but not too tall! -it has a nice amount of open storage for me to slip my laptops under, and the closed door storage is a plus also! (And you get a ton of space underneath the lift-top) -It's solid... Mdf, but doesn't feel flimsy, and the wood grain laminate looks really good. The Metal frame adds a nice look and sturdiness also. In all, a great purchase and great value. Is it solid wood? No, but i wouldn't expect that at this price; you'd spend upwards of $1K fpr that - this table is a great balance of affordability and quality. As for cons, I really can't think of any right now, it is exactly as described and what I was looking for, and assembled easily. I know I had a hard time choosing a table when looking, and took a chance on this one even though it only had one less deatailed review, so hopefully my review helps you make your decision!

I've had this coffee table for a few months now so I feel like I can leave an honest review now. *First off I had no issues with assembly. I think it took me a half hour by myself. *I personally think it's pretty durable. Between my wife throwing stuff on it, my 9 year old just running into it, and our puppy chewing/jumping/running into it, and myself putting way too many groceries/bumping into it this thing has held up great. *The storage is awesome. We use the cabinet for puppy stuff and it's perfect. The hidden storage is surprisingly big. We keep photo albums and the remotes stored there. *For the price I honestly don't know if there is a better coffee table. The cabinet was a big selling point for me and it works great.

I've had this and a few other coffee tables in my shopping cart for a while. I've been looking for one that has a pop-up feature/storage. I decided to buy this one after the price dropped about $15 online. I really liked that it had three main areas of storage. It has a hidden storage area perfect for remotes, books, magazines, or a couch blanket. Additionally, there's open room underneath for a few art books or coffee table books. Off to the side, there's a cabinet door that reveals another storage space. This coffee table is the perfect height for my Ashley furniture couch and fits perfectly in the nook of an L-shaped couch so that you can rest your feet up or have coffee / snacks on hand while watching TV. While I love the coffee table so far, the assembly instructions left something to be desired. I've built just about all of the furniture in my apartment, much of it from Amazon, and this piece of furniture, while not difficult to assemble, did a disservice to the assembler with the order in which it suggested to piece it together. If I was to build this all over, I would suggest that customers do one of the last steps earlier in the building process. After assembling most of the coffee table, the instructions advise you to screw two ratchets affixed to a table top (one of the coffee table's heaviest parts) into the rest of the assembled coffee table. There is no easy way to accomplish this solo. The easiest way to do this would be to have a partner/friend hover the table top over the rest of the coffee table while the other person squeezes into a somewhat small, dark space to almost blindly screw in 16 screws to attach the two ratchets to the rest of the coffee table. Since I was solo, I found two items to stack inside the coffee table storage area to balance the table top onto in order to affix the ratchets to the coffee table. This could've been avoided if the instructions suggested you to affix the ratchets to the coffee table earlier in assembly when you could have the storage on its side. It seemed like an odd afterthought by making this one of the final steps of the coffee table building process. My only other issue while building was that some of the screw holes did not seem to be fully formed. I used a drill to get a number of the screws tightly in place for this reason. One other suggestion while building early on is to make sure that when you affix the two outside sides of the table - make sure you're not installing them upside down or you won't be able to put the legs of the table on at the very end properly. Each of the outside coffee table panels has two round holes encased in white near one of its edges. Those ends should be near the top of the coffee table. This is a rather early step and when I realized my mistake near the end on one side, I needed to disassemble some of the table to turn it around. I wished there was a clear note about that in the instructions. Despite these hiccups, the coffee table itself is great. But, I thought the slight assembly woes may be something others should know about before purchasing in case they can avoid the same while putting this piece together.

The lift top on this table is perfect to support a laptop and drink, or a plate of food, and puts it at the perfect working height from a standard couch. Great for when I'm working in the living room instead of the office for any number of reasons, or just for snacking while watching TV! It is slightly difficult to put together, but just follow the instructions carefully and it'll work out. It's not the nicest coffee table in the world, but for the price, it's pretty sturdy and looks decent. The inital unit I received was damaged, but amazon handled return and replace quickly, and the second unit was fine, so can't complain too much about that.

My 18 month old puppy, felt the need to destroy my leatherlike storage ottoman, which I had purchased to replace one that her older brother had destroyed 5 years before. So I set out to find something that wasn't expensive, but could serve as both storage and a work area, that she can't rip apart. I came upon this, the price was right and based on reviews I purchased it. As an almost 69 year old woman, who has put things together before, I anticipated it taking time and so, out of the box, I organized the pieces, the hardware, all numbered, and in total it took about 2.5 hours, with me only once having to take a piece apart because it was upside down, and I got it all done by myself until it came to the lift part, as I couldn't quite figure it out, luckily I have a friend who got that attached, pictures attached, including my devil dog! Bottom line, I am pleased with the product. The lift top, lifts easily, the doors mean I don't have to worry about where to keep my remotes safe and findable. As for durability, time will tell, but at the price I paid, I am sure it will last long enough to be worth what I paid!

I am in love with this table! I initially started out looking for something with a lid to hold blankets but found this and loved it. I’m able to fit three decently sized throw blankets in the cubby. The lifting lid is also great for eating dinner in the living room and getting work done on my laptop. While the color was a little darker than I expected it’s still beautiful and was easy to put together by myself.

This coffee table is a great buy. It provides such an element of utllity in my living room with storage as well as a top that opens into a work table. It does require assembly but it’s relatively easy to put together. It comes with easy to follow instructions, parts that are organized and numbered. Suggest you inventory all parts, screws etc..with the included inventory sheet just as a good practice

I have to say more than most furniture I have bought that was particle board requiring assembly, and that includes things from Target to Ikea to walmart, this looks and feels like something made of cheap material that you indeed put together and didn't buy already assembled. I think it would be good for a college student or anyone who like myself, has a disgusting tan colored carpet in my apartment building but I can't do anything about. Because it blends in with the really fake looking wood grain on the table... But next to my Ikea hemis end tables and TV stand, this looks much cheaper. When in fact all of them are made of processed wood, cheap metal, and ever annoying cam-lock systems for the drawers..
