We love this - the functionality is perfect. I cannot believe this is the ONLY table I could find that would lift in the 2 directions I needed for my L shape couch. The lack of a 4th star is because I would have liked this to be a lighter wood color. This is a heavy, well built table that's been quite durable with my 2 kids, wet drinks, etc. over the last few months! (Please make it in a lighter color?!?)
