This coffee table was just what I was looking for! The lift top makes typing on my laptop and eating in front of the TV easier on my back and more enjoyable. The storage under the lift top is helpful at reducing clutter while the storage underneath makes for easy to reach books and remotes. 

It was easy to assemble. I even did it alone although it asked for two people. It feels like you're putting together furniture from Ikea. It also matches some of my furniture from Ikea already in my living room!
