Table is great for the cost when put together. Sturdy tabletop when expanded or collapsed / its solid enough for me to eat dinner on and keep books etc. on top of. Bottom shelf could be a bit more durable, as it does bend a bit when pressure is applied. I would be cautious about using it as a footrest.
Instructions for assembly were not great. It was a bit difficult to reach all of the screwholes since the table is designed to leave most assembly accessories hidden once built. Definitely at LEAST a two person job.
Expanding the tabletop is a bit tricky. Its very heavy, and you need to pull from both sides at once or it will become crooked. Might have been nice to include a handle in the center, or a bar connecting the two raising arms.
Decent table, rough assembly
