This modern, cute and highly functional does the job very well for my new small condo. As other reviewers have said, take your time going through the instructions, laying it all out and assembling (especially when you get to the top piece with hydraulic lifts). The particle board has a thick coating which seems like it will chip if not careful. I must not have screwed in the top perfectly evenly as it gets a little stuck when I close it. I think with a slight adjustment of the screws, it will close nicely.
