This is a very nice little coffee table with added features such as adjustable raising desktop and storage space inside.  Perfect paired with a futon or convertible sofa since you can easily store sheets and a blanket.  The laminate finishing isn't quite as persuasive (like real wood) as I had hoped but it looks nice.  Black paint on metals can be chipped so I wouldn't recommend this piece for a high traffic area.  But as a small apartment table or for an occasional room, it's nicely made, fairly sturdy and adds a cute and convenient functional storage option.
