This table has exactly the features I was looking for / lots of storage, and sturdy enough to act as foot/leg rest. It was also economically priced. The table was boxed well, but it was incredibly heavy. I struggled to pull it in the house after it was delivered (Im a reasonably strong middle aged woman). I was intimidated by some of the other reviews stating challenges with assembly, but I consider myself reasonably competent at putting things together. So, I bit the bullet and unpacked the components. After confirming receipt of all the pieces (which were labelled well), I began assembly. It took about two hours (25 steps), and I was able to do all but the lift/ top on my own. I needed a second set of hands to help lift it on and hold it steady while I screwed in the hardware. The finish is quite nice, and I only noticed one blemish on one of the legs. It is not noticeable, so I am not concerned at all. Overall, I couldnt be more pleased with the quality, features, and ease of assembly. The only reason I didnt give the table 5 stars is related the lift/top. It does require two hands to move, and doesnt feel as solid as Id like. I worry that it may be too flimsy to stand the test of time.
Checked off all the boxes!
