My husband  I recently downsized to a small condo. I love this lift top table, because it is compact, yet provides a good surface for my laptop and making puzzles. I especially like the additional storage space beneath the lid. The other selling point for me is the 3 divided spaces beneath the storage space. I purchased 3 bins with covers (separate Wayfair purchase) to contain my clutter. The spaces are also good for books or decorative touches. I rated it 4 stars vs. 5, because it is made of particle board and the fliptop wiggles as it lifted into position. In the end, it serves our needs very well and it is priced fairly for the quality.
