Overall the Cornelia Coffee Table is very attractive, sturdy and functional. Upon arrival only the legs needed to be attached. Unfortunately, the lift top mechanism was in such close proximetry  to the where the legs attach that there was not enough space to comfortably get my hand in to hold the Allen wrench. Also, attachment requies the use of two Allen wrenches simultaneously which was difficult because one is obscured by the lift top mechanism. I was disappointed to see how poorly the laminant was was applied to the edges of the lift top. As the attached picture shows, the wood grain affect of the laminate is absent at each corner. If I had paid full price, I would return it as defective. Since it is not too noticeable, the price was right and I like the design, I am keeping it.
