Looked great initially. The laminate is not very robust and sensitive to anything hot or sticky, which is inevitable on a coffee table in a home with kids. The pipe fitments still need tightening from time to time as they work loose through moving the table around to clean or operate the top. 6 fabric baskets fit perfectly in the storage space underneath, and the lift top is convenient. The mechanical bits still work flawlessly; it's just the finish resiliency that's a bit of a disappointment. Still 4 stars given the price.
