Love my coffee table! It was a bear to put together as many of the "pre-drilled" holes were non-existent. Be sure to have a drill handy to get it put together. Also, the photo shows the lift on the left side, however, the actual table is drilled to have the lift part on the right. It took a lot of re-engineering, but I managed to get it set up with the orientation that I wanted. Once it was built, it is very sturdy and the lift table is exactly what I wanted.
