Same as other reviews, instructions are unnecessarily confusing (I got the hint from other reviews so I read them very carefully), the top part doesn’t close all the way (I found that if you manually try to insert the screws just below the preset hole it should close fine, but the top might not be 100 straight), and to close the lift top I have to hold the table because the pressure makes it hard to close. However I like how it looks, and even though it’s hard to close, the lift top is very stable and I can eatuse my laptop while on the couch. I would recommend to avoid the wood grain and stick to the white, because the corners of the pieces already look damaged. I’m not going to return it because it does the job and it would be too much of a hassle to return and have to build again.
