VEVOR Mesa de Centro con Tapa Elevable 1000x498x480 mm Mesa de Café, Marrón

I am really torn between 4-5 stars on this one. The quality on this is excellent. It is made of particle board or maybe it's called pressed board. It is the stuff most non-wood furniture is made from but it is very dense and solid. Each piece is heavier than you would expect. Putting it together was somewhat complicated, but not too bad. You might want to plan on taking some breaks and you definitely want a full size screwdriver if you have one. Once assembled, the whole thing is very sturdy and it is great for playing a game or doing a puzzle. It would be really great for an apartment that doesn't have room for a dedicated dining table. There are a few things I don't like. This needs to be used as a coffee table to get the benefit of it being convertible, so it renders the built in plugs and lights somewhat useless. You would need to have a cord running across your floor right where people walk to use it. The spaces under the table are a little bit of a pain to get to, so I wouldn't would store anything in there that you use often. The high quality (ironically) makes it very heavy so it is difficult to move around on carpet. Finally, the edges are pretty sharp including the hinges that still out one side. If you have kids, you will need to kid proof this. Even though I listed quite a few negatives, I do really like this coffee table. If this were priced a bit lower, it would be five stars all the way. At this price, I was really close to a four star rating.

The good: Very stable, large table, and strong, large coffee table. The few issues i had were with the assembly. The instructions could be much better, I flipped one of the center braces, and didn't figure out what I had done, until after I had screwed dozens of screws into it (an electric screwdriver is highly recommended.) I could not imagine taking it back apart just to flip the part, so I drilled the small surface lift in from the other side. It ended up slightly skewed, enough to notice, but not enough to change the function. Lifting the large part of the table, it can twist if you don't' lift at the same time, but won't twist once the struts are all the way up. The \"storage\" inside is hard to get to, and I should have realized that even with the table extended to one side, it is still awkward to try and reach under, and all the hardware is tucked in there as well. It is only suitable for long term. The shelves are obviously easier to get to and handy.

Assembly was a REAL pain-- this is complicated, which isn't the manufacturer's fault, as it is a complex and multi-function convertible fixture. It is not an easy-breezy quick-and-fast assembly right out of the box--- so give yourself the time, read the instructions clearly, and set up in a space you can have clear of traffic/use for long enough to get it done. Plan ahead, and you'll do fine! I almost regretted it about midway through the assembly, but pushed through, and the finished table is WELL worth all the hassle-- as advertised, it converts as a true \"4 in 1\" multi-form table/storage fixture, and while it doesn't do ANY of these things perfectly, it does ALL of them adequately and with versatile rotation between them. I'm in the process of re-doing a big open guest/lounge room in the home, and was having trouble picking a coffee table: too low and they're useless for anything but coffee and coasters and oversized art books, but too high, and they feel like barriers between you and your company. That's where this table excels: you just set it up to whatever the space and situation need and then change it when the need changes. It is simple to operate. Will it hold up to years of use? I don't know. The hardware seems reasonably well put together, and the boards (MDF I think) are heavy and solid. I suspect I'll get years out of it, if it doesn't see much movement. Like a lot of these MDF (manufactured wood) furnishings, they're great while stationary, but really begin to break down with frequent moving, lifting, etc. This hopefully doesn't apply to the function of its moving parts. I'm very satisfied, and it has brought a room together in a \"best of all worlds\" sort of way, and matches some of the other \"rustic wood\" modern furnishings we've picked up to set the space up!

Disliked having to assemble. Like the color the sturdiness and functionality.

I love this one just like the last one I got. Great hidden storage space and also good as a table when you pull the top up.

I thought this was going to be flimsy but after putting it together it is sturdier than I thought. Easy to put together, just an overall great table.

Love this coffee table. Very cool how the top lifts up. Everyone that comes over loves it. Thank you

The pictures do it justice. The table is sturdy if you put it together correctly.

My gift to young couple, they’re thrilled, said better than described.

This was the biggest B to put together alone.. got so pissed many time and almost gave up but once it was put together it’s absolutely beautiful! When the lid is lifted it feels flimsy but it’s not.. it’s such a nice coffee table. Definitely worth the $$ and stress to almost throw it over the balcony lol
