Overall it looks quite nice and its quite sturdy, up close its possible to see that its not the best quality. It was relatively easy to put together except for one design flaw that means you need to screw in the metal frame to the underneath of the unit but have to do so at a funny angle because your access to the screw head is blocked by the second metal bar directly below above.
The springs that lift the top up are sturdy but arent equal in their tension so its hard to pull up and push down smoothly but this may just be our version and it just means we dont pull it up with a drink already on it. Overvall, for the price were happy with it and it will do the job until we can find ( afford) a perfect solid wood replacement.
