The material is pretty cheap, and can tell that you'll easily get water marks and dings if you don't treat it well. It can be hard to open and close, you have to use two hands to do either. But it matches our house perfectly so I'm very pleased!Honestly i was worried to buy it and that the product would be bad quality but i was terribly wrong. Best decision ever! My husband loves it! Looks so good and i love the amount of starage place. Glad i can eat in the living room. This is an amzing center table!Perfect for my small apartment. I generally don't use the small dining area, so this was perfect for eating at the couch. Great for setting up for puzzles and things of that nature too.first i would like to say the table is beautiful and the quality of the product is awesome! Especially for the price!the only issue i had was the directions.......they were very unclear, and confusing. didnt help at all, basically just guessed, and hoped for the best.Easy to work with considering the build quality, can be a little annoying to assemble and you will need more than 1 person to assemble the top lifting frame.I love this table. Very well made, a lot of hardware to put it together. Solid once assembled. Instructions were easy to follow. Love the space below and the lifting top. Nice finish.Good product for the price. Hard to put togetherIt was a gift for my nephew. He loved it.
