The table is pretty great for the price, works as advertised, material is good (durable) quality, but there's some definite cons. It's bit of a pain to assemble, need to go on your back to look up at the table, drop screws into difficult areas, the instructions don't help you figure out that the legs aren't symmetrical, if you did something wrong you could lose up to an hour. I got one where the metal part of the mechanism was bent and messed with the hydraulic system, this makes it difficult to lift the top. You need to add weight to the other side of the table so that it won't tip over when leaning on the pulled out part, it seems pretty easy to tip over if you don't have books or literal weights inside of it. The pads under legs to slide the table are just flimsy stickers that could easily clip on something and get damaged.
