I am SO happy with this table! The raised part is very easy to lift and then re-store, which was something I was concerned about since I have pain issues in my neck and shoulders. But it is easy peasy, and is the absolute perfect height for both my laptop and to eat dinner on while I’m watching TV. I also really like how much storage there is even though the table itself is not very big. The color is rich and beautiful - I just really like everything about it!￼
