I really wanted to love this piece. It has great lines, is a substantial size and a popular color that coordinates with so many designs, plus it's got the nifty lift top that's perfect for laptops. Unfortunately, the quality and instructions leave a lot to be desired. It's particle board; the side was damaged during shipping, but due to time constraints, we kept it anyway and glued it back together.  The instructions were also terrible-- unclear, difficult to read (both in its description as well as the lightness of the print). I think if I had known all this beforehand, I would have saved myself the aggravation and bought a different table
