Lift top is sturdy! Does not give as much storage space as I thought it would because you kind of have to adjust putting things according to the hardware inside.  Also I though I would be able to adjust the bigger size lift door to face the other way but it comes pre assembled to only face as shown in the picture.  But my husband found a way to make it work putting it together to face the other direction. so far so good! satisfied with color and size.
