I love this coffee table. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the lift top was exceptionally hard to install. Impossible for one person. The angle of the screws were very awkward to screw in straight on. It took me and my husband over an hour to install just the top. The lift top is a little fragile too. Probably because I couldn’t get the screws to go in straight and 100 percent in.  The base is solid.
