This is a an attractive, sturdy, solid, quality piece of furniture.  I love the lift top.  The height measurement for the extended lift top is 25 inches (not 27.5 as stated in spec) which is perfect for use while sitting on couch.  The table has 5 casters which allow for pulling closer to couch when using the lift top.  Many people have noted that drawers are hard to remove for assembly.  The problem here is the technique they are using of “pushing down” on the drawer stop which is very stiff.  That is not necessary.  All you need to do is pull the drawer out like normal, and when it catches you wiggle it gently side to side while pulling forward.  It will come out slowly until you get past the bump of the drawer stop.
