The directions for the table assembly were a little tricky but offered options for opening the table top in either direction. It is  perfect since I wanted the drawer on the couch side so I can stash napkins and  salt and pepper shakers in he drawer for when I eat dinner in front of the TV. The underneath storage has extra room for remotes, cables, coasters, and plenty else. I love the look of the lights but haven't hooked them up just yet.
