Though I had to make repairs to damage that we found when we opened the box, I really enjoy this piece. The lid has hydraulic assisted opening and there is plenty of space for soft storage. The top is beautifully tufted and it is set on casters for ease of movement. It will be really nice for late night fruit and cheese sharing for my family. On the downside, one of the hinges on the top had stripped screws so we had to pack the holes to replace the screws. Luckily, we are quite handy so this was not a deal-killer.
