As with any platform/BYO furniture, I wouldnt be too rough with it. It did get dented on the top (Im assuming from someone hitting it too hard.) But I wrapped this up and stuck it in a moving pod expecting it to be slightly broken. It held up! Have had for about 5/6 months and have no complaints.
We just moved into a new home, and have been getting a ton of this type of assemble/it/yourself furniture. Most of it was either damaged and sent back, or riddled with imperfections, or even cheaper quality than even the cheap price would imply. Its been pretty depressing.
Given this is a non/simple table, I was pleasantly surprised after finishing the assembly. It feels quite solid, and the only caveat is having to open the table in balanced way, either with two hands on the sides, or sometimes one hand in the middle works.
When opened it seems to provide a fairly solid surface.
The only downside is a fairly lengthy assembly process, and everybodys favorite: dowels and glue. 31 dowels, to be precise, which means over 60 holes to glue. Like others, I did have someone hold the top while I put the first few screws in.
Im pretty happy with the final product, though. Very good for this frugal kind of furniture, a sadly rare thing these days.
When assembled it was in perfect condition with no scratches.
The top moves easily and smoothly.
It is rock/solid thanks to being glued *and* screwed together. (Seriously, you cant get this to wiggle in the slightest.) Plenty of glue is also included.
The top provides plenty of space and the lower shelf and can hold laptops and tablets out of view.
With that being said, it does take a surprising amount of time to assemble.
Im a flat/pack veteran; having assembled dozens of pieces over the years.
This was, by far, the most difficult.
It took me about 3 hours to do by myself.
It required an entire 9 by 11 area to assemble without scratching anything.
There was also a flaw in the illustration for how to assemble the piece K. It said to insert a dowel near the edge away from the cams. No such hole exists and instead it goes into the middle hole.
Suggestions for assembly: rather than instruct the user to place the foam pads at the edges of the top, put them in line with the top of the legs for a smoother landing.
Dowels should have glue put on them and then inserted rather than gluing in the hole. Make sure theyre in firmly.
The top is difficult to mount by yourself. Id suggest only putting one or two screws in and then tackling the other side. Be patient as its very (very) finicky and easy to cross/thread and strip the bolts.
it came with small adhesive plastic corner pieces with no indication of intended use.
If youre looking at this and you can deal with the baskets of the similar style Id strongly recommend that instead. The assembly should be much easier, with far fewer pieces, fasteners, etc.
Got this table for the light grey color and the cabinets in the bottom. Have had it for three weeks now and have had no issues with it, I personally am obsessed with it. The only thing I will add is the when pulling the top up or down and theres no weight on it, it feels kind of flimsy in the sense that one side can go a bit higher than the other, even if youre trying to keep them balanced. This hasnt been a real issue so far since once the top is all the way up or down it is balanced. As long as youre not purposely trying to pull one side higher than the other it is fine and the instructions do mention to not do this. Im sure there are sturdier tables out there but then again they might cost more. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase for the price I paid and the functionality of it.

Beautiful and Nice table
Value for money! Nice and convenient to transform in a desk.
Surprisingly good for this type of furniture.

Good value, some hardware needs upgrading.
I dislike the post type screws used for joining the parts, the Phillips heads are easily broken.
Beautiful, sturdy table but you need lots of space and lots of time to assemble.

Nice table
Fits our aesthetic. Love the grey color. Was worried the 41 would be too small but it fits perfectly on our 8x10 rug.
What I wanted for the right price.
Just a little tall for my taste, but Im not a tall person.
Good functional table
