I got this table for my studio apartment and it great because it doubles up as a dining table and a coffee table with storage space. The problem was the the only parts which needed to be assembled was the legs itself and the table top and the base was supposed to be pre-fixed. However that wasn't the case - the table top was disattached from the base (or rather the metal lifting mechanism). Instead of returning it I went out and bought the screws needed to fix the top onto the lifting mechanism. 

Great product - poor quality and quality control.
