This is a very nice looking table once it's assembled. One side becomes a lift top, the other is fixed in place. It does come completely unassembled but goes together fairly quickly. The mechanism for the lift top is a bit difficult to install without help, but can be done by installing the brace between the mechanisms before attaching the mechanisms to the table box. The tiles are printed onto the panels rather than being actual tile, the hinges don't line up the lift top with the fixed panel without adjustment and the panels are all MDF, or I would have rated it as 5 stars. It does look absolutely beautiful in the living room, and our cats are having a fabulous time ambushing each other from beneath it :)
