Lift Top Coffee Table with 2 Open Shelves

I was switching from a large IKEA coffee table. I wanted to upgrade to something a little bit nicer, but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an already assembled table made of nicer wood. This table is a lot nicer than I thought it was going to be. The board doesn't feel like the cheap particle board you get from IKEA furniture. It seems better (though I don't know if it actually is). I bought the gray colored table and it also looks really nice. The table has heft to it and doesn't feel cheap. The riser portion also does a decent job as long as you're expecting a $100ish dollar table. Assembly was not terrible. Though they use those annoying IKEA like screws that are like dials. Because of this, I have some little gaps in the table (nothing major) but those screws are annoying. Also, the table does wobble if you don't pull it from the middle. Not a huge deal when you pay what you pay for the table. Lastly, this table is pretty difficult to assemble with one person. Once you start putting the brackets onto the table to get it to lift, it becomes incredibly hard. Overall the table is great. Way better than I thought. Assembly is a little difficult by yourself but not impossible. Would buy this again if on a budget.

When we purchase an item online, we shop carefully and make sure to read all the reviews and Q&As for the product. This YAHEETECH Lift Top Coffee Table meets all the positive reviews: it is an attractive and solid piece of furniture that arrived in perfect condition and assembled easily and accurately. We are well pleased. To address the negative reviews, our first recommendation is to view the video on the Amazon site that takes you step-by-step through the assembly process. It is worth 4:30 of your time even if you are experienced at furniture assembly. Because almost all the parts are symmetrical, there is little chance of error except possibly swapping the legs or flipping the compartment sides resulting in misfits and leaving the impression that holes are drilled incorrectly. Watching the video and following the instruction pages in the correct order (they are stapled strangely) should prevent this. Not only were there no missing parts but there were also extras for all the fasteners and dowels plus all parts were packaged and labeled clearly. There are two sizes of cam locks that do need to be kept separate. We did find installing the springs on the lift brackets a challenge but using a small pair of pliers to hold the end of the spring rather the loop allowed us to place the loop over the peg easily. When working with small screws we find it easier to rub them on a cake of soap to lubricate them and to install them in the pre-drilled holes and then to remove them prior to installing the final parts. Also, when installing the lift top, it is quite easy to install one screw in each bracket at the top at the nearer end. This process then makes it simple to pivot the bracket up by lifting the top and to place a screw in the other end at the bottom; the other six screws in each bracket then go in easily and the table is completed. Our downsides are minor; the label on the side is difficult to remove, and there is a lot of foam packing material that creates a disposal issue. We were a little nervous about the low price and did a lot of comparison shopping. Simply stated, this is an excellent buy and a quality product.

I love the table. Hard to assemble but is pretty sturdy. 4 stars just because it leaves fingerprints and residue that is hard to clean and dust shows up so clearly.

I ordered this table becasue i liked the design of the lift top The first one i received the screws damanged the table which was really disappointing so I reached out to the company which didn't have replacement parts. The table is 70lbs and i needed to pay shipping (60.00) to return it They were very quick in their responses and in the end the company sent me a prepaid label to return the brokem one as soon as i returned the other table they shipped me a new one. Everything went together easily and I am loving my table seems very sturdy at a great price. I give the product and company a 5 star. With great customer service! Would buy again. One thing to realize when putting it together is your building upside down until you put on the very top table.

Yes, good purchase. Easy to assemble and I'm an old lady. Wanted a table to work jigsaw puzzles on and it’s perfect.

Overall, I am very happy with this table. It arrived at my doorstep with the box corners crushed. I was a little worried about the wood being damaged but pleasantly surprised to find it well packaged. Instructions are a little tedious. You need to carefully lay out the pieces before assembly. It's great that each piece was properly labeled with the corresponding hardware. It takes 2 people to assemble the table and the hardest part for us was putting the metal hinges for the lift top. There are 8 wood screws to put in on each side so having a third person to hold the table top in place is best. After it was all assembled, the table looks fantastic and extremely functional. The extra storage underneath the lift top is great for storing things and hiding it out of the way. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.

Single mom so there’s only me to put it together and I procrastinated on putting it together for about 3 months because I’m usually in pain and some days my focus just isn’t there. It was relatively easy to assemble on my own. The hardest part was the last steps of putting the hinges on the top of the table and the sides. Would have been easier to have an extra person to hold the top of the table while screwing the hinges into the inner sides of the table. It took me about 2.5 hours to put it together so it would definitely take less time with two people. But everything fit properly and perfectly. There were no defective parts or missing parts. The wood is a very nice quality and the storage inside is definitely a bonus. Very happy with my purchase.

We are used to Ikea furniture and this is definitely a step up. Sturdy and looks very good assembled. Quite heavy to carry around and it looks like it's made from good-quality materials. During the assembly, we found the parts and drilled holes well aligned and relatively easy to assemble. The last step of putting the top part on was quite difficult, but we managed after some thinking. In the end it wasn't that hard to do, once we figured it out. My one suggestion would be to have better instructions for the last step.

It took about 2-3 hrs to put this together. It was pretty straight forward if you're familiar with putting this type of furniture together. It was timely screwing everything in and placing dowels. The weird part is at the end trying to screw in the top of the table to bottom by the brackets that lift the table top. The instructions recommend two people for this step.I managed to do it myself by balancing the top on other furniture and holding it up a little. I would say that was the hardest part of assembly. The final product is sturdy and looks nice. When you lift the table top you have to lift evenly with two hands it can go up a little wonky but when in place it's fine. I believe this is because the two mechanisms are singular and do not function in unison. Overall I believe this table is a good purchase. The savings here is earned in a little elbow grease.

This product was easy to put together, it took just over an hour with good instructions. This is a step above IKEA quality. There are many fasteners, much more than I've ever had with IKEA. It's very sturdy and heavy.

It's nice quality. Very sturdy. It's probably easy to assemble if you aren't drunk. Me and my husband wouldn't know. But we got it eventually. And immediately broke several glasses lifting it with glasses on the table.
