This works for my small apartment! I love that it has storage and can be lifted like a table for work or eating. I have been using it as a place to work, do homework, and eat. The table is a little hard to lift at times, but it does not move once up. I was able to put it together by myself (and my drill), doing the lift top portion was a little awkward, I had to get under the table to make sure it was even, but overall I'm happy with it! Color is a little darker than what is in the photo too.
