Amazon Basics Rectangular Coffee Table for Living Room with Storage, Lift Top, 40 in x 18 in x 19 in, Black

Me and my partner often eat on the couch while watching TV. I was hesitant to get a lift top coffee table for fear of it accidentally falling or crashing dropping food or plates. This table was too cheap to pass up and so I ordered it. It’s perfect! Easy to assemble and great sturdy materials. The top comes preconfigured so after attaching it lifts and operates normal. It locks in the upright position which is great since it won’t just fall when you put weight on it or bump into it. I wouldn’t put a lot of weight on it since it is only rated for 40lbs but it definitely can hold food, drink, and decoration without issue. Time will tell how it holds up but overall we give it a 10/10

This is a nice solid wood table. It is real varnished wood, not particle board or engineered wood. The table uses cam locks to hold it together, which makes for sturdy and tight construction if you follow instructions and make sure you fasten them carefully and thoroughly. Putting it together isn't too bad as long as you follow instructions and don't let yourself get overwhelmed. The finish is nice but i do feel like it will scratch fairly easily if you aren't careful. I recommend putting a table runner or a couple of really nice cloth placemats on it to protect the top. The lift top is nice and practical for storage

I bought this natural wood table for its closed storage area, and ability to raise the top use it for a desk for a lap top, and just bring food, or coffee etc. closer when seated on the couch. The assembly was quick (about 20 minutes) and easy, with well drilled holes. The holes were straight, and it fit fairly well, but the sections do not smoothly line up to each other - about a 1/16 inch offset in several areas. After assembly, the table was sturdy and did not wobble. The natural color is good. It is not all natural wood planking as advertised. It appears to be a good veneer. The drawer bottom (section below the lid) is paper, and will not be able to take much weight. I planned to store books inside, and besides the problem with a paper liner, the area inside is not very big. so will have to use the bottom shelf instead. I have some woven water hyacynth baskets that fit underneath as well, and the fact that it has only two sections instead of the three in similar tables gives more flexibility for larger items to be stored on the bottom shelf. The table does have a weight limit of 45 lbs so do not lean or sit on it. The wood is not completely smooth, and the coating is rough, and slightly thin or white in some areas. The hinge mechanism has a beefy spring, and a stop that is to allow it to support extra weight. It can be raised less than the full height if light items such as a meal, a drink, or magazine were placed on it, but should be raised to where it locks in place for heavier items, or to keep it in a raised position.. There is a released knob when it is ready to be lowered. The feet on the legs consist of glued fabric, and fell off as I was assembling the table. It would be worth investing in hard plastic ones that normally are nailed to the bottom of the legs, to allow the table to slide on a floor or carpet. Some furniture have plastic covers for the holes left in the assembly. This did not, although most of the holes were out of sight. The hinge mechanism had large very rusted bolts and this is not acceptable for a new item, nor choice of material. I will get a replacement and see if the problem is consistent. The wood also had some discolored areas that looked like it had been exposed to moisture. I wiped of grey and green in a couple of spots. The soft cardboard packaging was ripped in some areas, and the red ribbon taped to the back of the assembly hardware was sticking out through a hole. It is curious what purpose the ribbon has, because it did not help get the hardware out of the packaging. I received the replacement and looked at the hardware. They are iron and either painted, plated or galvanized except for the hinge bolts, which have no coating and could rust again.

I didn’t expect this to be as good as it is! My son assembled it quickly and easily. It’s much sturdier than I expected. The finish is nice. I use it as an all purpose desk, use my laptop on it and use it as an eating space. I have my supplies in baskets beneath it. I also have supplies and papers etc in the under top compartment. The surface sometimes gets cluttered and then some stuff conveniently falls off into the compartment so it’s sort of a self cleaning table top LOL!!! It has feet that slide with just the right amount of friction on my laminate floors which I appreciate as I shift it’s position often. I know if company comes I can quickly stash the stuff on top and lower the top and have a normal looking coffee table. The only negative is that the stabilizing structure for the top does not allow reaching into the compartment as easily from the sitter’s side as from the far side. The other possible negative is the height of the raised table is not very high. I’ve become accustomed to it so it works for me. A pretty great product overall for this price.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the top part with the hinges was already assembled. This made the assembly very easy. The only slightly challenging part were the four screws in the corners of the storage area. I would recommend a longer handled allen wrench then what's provided. I did it with the small wrench provided but it was hard and it took a while to get them tight. I wanted a smaller one and this 38 inch table fits in perfectly with my living room. The top comes up very easily and locks in place and you just have to pull a screw like thing (don't know what to call it) in the storage area to put it down. It goes down and lifts up very easily with one hand. It's very sturdy and was received without any damage. I was able to get good size baskets for underneath. I would highly recommend the table if you're on a budget. It looks much more expensive than what I paid.

Needed a coffee table for my den, and wanted one that could rise up to meet me if I ever wanted to eat or get some work done while watching TV. This table serves that purpose wonderfully. The top of the coffee table with the lift mechanism comes pre-assembled, so putting the whole thing together was pretty simple, and I was able to put it together myself without any assistance. (Though I'm sure the process would have been easier with an extra set of hands. The most difficult part of the process was tightening the four hex-screws that go on the interior of the table top to attach the legs. They're really close to the side of the table, to the point where I wasn't able to fully rotate the included allen key to tighten them. Pretty much had to go a quarter-turn at a time, which is a bit frustrating. I ordered the black one, and I feel it's worth noting that there were some imperfections noticeable on the table top. Look like drips from the paint or veneer or whatever it is they coated the wood with. They didn't bother me enough to return it, since I didn't fancy going through the whole process of putting everything back in the box and waiting for a new one to be shipped out enough, but they're very noticeable and might be a problem for people who plan to put it somewhere that guests will see it. (I'm pretty much the only one who uses the den, so another non-issue for me.) EDIT: After some months of using the table, I'm dropping a star from my original rating. The wood is just WAY too soft, and easily gets dinged. The top of the table is filled with dents after just typical everyday use. I don't expect the thing to to be indestructible at this price point, but it would be nice if it didn't get a new dent from dropping anything heavier than a table fork on it.

I was skeptical about buying this, as I figured it would be cheaply made. However, I was shocked to see that almost every piece was actual wood! Only 1 piece was not and it’s the insert inside. It also came majorly put together! Only had to put together the legs and bottom portion of the table. The hinges to allow the top to open were already installed and ready to go. There was one part that was a bit annoying to get together, but I did do this alone. I’m sure if you had 2 people, it would have been easier. Great value for the money! Looks exactly like the photos. Buy it!

Let's start with the good parts of this table. Almost the entire table is made from real wood not fiberboard (except for the inside storage under the lift top). It is a very sturdy table. Opening it takes a little effort but I think that's due to it being brand new. Once the springs wear in a bit it should be better. The table locks open when you lift the top which is really nice so it doesn't move. The color is nice its a medium dark brown color. The overall quality is pretty good especially for the price. Assembly was easy too, similar to Ikea type assembly ly just not as complicated. The directions are clear a d easy to follow. I would recommend this table. Now for the not so good parts. The bottom of the inside storage under the lift top is the only piece that isn't real wood. Its a thin fiberboard. I dont think it'll be an issue because I don't plan on putting anything heavy inside the table but I'd guess I'd only support up to 25-30 lbs inside. The only other complaint I have is that the support beam across the inside can be a little in the way depending on what you want to store in it. Overall this is a great high quality table for an excellent price. Id highly recommend it.

Come da aspettative

This is a great coffee table. Easy to assemble and packaged very well. I have purchased quite a few items of furniture on amazon recently, like an end table, tv stand, and book shelf. All of them black and made of wood. The quality varied and some pieces were flimsy and not as sturdy as you would expect. This coffee table is solid and has a nice finish. I am really satisfied with this product.

Extremely strong construction, easy to assemble, great design and price would definitely recommend.
