VASAGLE Lift Top Coffee Table with Storage Drawers and Charging Station, Coffee Table for Living Room with Lifting Top, Hidden Compartments and Open Shelf, Rustic Brown and Ink Black ULCT206B01

We absolutely love this table! It was a little difficult to put together but now it was worth it. No complaints here and it goes well with our livingroom. It hold all our games and kids colors and coloring books. And the convience of the plug in is great!

Was easy to put together , quality is great, looks good holds allot of weight.

I wanted the drawers to face me,not the living space. This would allow to have the pull up desktop to swing out towards the drawers. It is one of the reasons I selected this model. No instructions were in the manual as how to do this before the whole table was assembled. I had to disassemble several parts in order to turn and reverse the two stabilizer bars that the spring mechanisms attach to the pre drilled holes. I was able to figure this out and reassemble the table. Would be 5 stars except for this omission in the manual.

I found that this table goes together very easily, if you pay close attention to the drawing details and avoid using an electric drill to put in the screws. They have a tendency to strip the heads and then they are hard to get out. Just use the Allen wrenches provided. It's slower but it avoids problems. I appreciated the extra screws and nuts included in case you made a mistake. The electrical plug in for i-phones is very handy as well.

My gripe can be summed up in one word, ASSEMBLY.I'm no rookie here. I've assembled probably 30 pieces of furniture like this in the last 10 years.Let's start with the screws. They are cheaply made and will strip out with any drill you use. You will have to use the tiny allen key provided the entire time.The biggest major problem though is the diagrams are so tiny and hard to see. Worse is that the pictures do nothing at all to orient you to which way a piece should face before installing. If you get a step wrong you will be forced to start over.I ended up braking part of the wood because I couldn't get the top aligned properly, requiring the whole unit to be broken down and re-assembled.As if all this were not enough, the final step requires installation of 8 bolts with no room to place your hands or tool.
