This coffee table is very versatile and provides extra storage to keep your space neat and organized. It has lots of space inside to store games, cables, books, snacks, etc. There is also a little pocket that hangs at the side for your remote controls.
The quality of this coffee table is similar to something you'd get at Ikea. It's made of laminated particle board, and the pocket is made of a thin fabric material. The materials are pretty much what you'd expect from furniture in this price range.
Assembly was mostly easy, with the exception of putting on the lift-top parts. Assembly took about an hour and a half, and I needed to have my wife hold the lift top pieces in place while I screwed them in, which took the most time in terms of lining everything up with the holes. The manufacturer includes a nifty little reversible screw driver with a phillips and flat head side in the box, but for your sanity's sake, you might want to use a ratchet screwdriver to speed things up since there about 100 screws in this thing. It seems pretty sturdy now that it's all put together, but I feel like I need to be especially careful when lifting the top since it sometimes lifts a little crooked.
The finished product looks really nice! It matches my dark furniture well, and all of my stuff that was cluttering the top of my old coffee table is stashed away neatly inside. The lift-top folds out into a big square table top that is perfect as a tabletop gaming surface. This is a great coffee table for someone that doesn't have a lot of room in their place, like in a studio or small one bedroom apartment. Since the table top is nice and big when folded out, it could be used as a makeshift dining table for college students or a young couple. The lights and built in plugs are another nice feature. I don't have mine plugged in because it's in the middle of the room and I didn't want the trip hazard, but they're nice to have.
Overall, this is a good coffee table for the price. Assembly was a b
