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

I had some concerns purchasing this table given some of the negative reviews, but I wanted something made of real wood (which it is) and inexpensive (which it definitely is). After spending less than an hour assembling it, I have absolutely no complaints. The table is sturdy, attractive, and very functional. The only tiny qualm I have is that the sole plywood piece (which is the bottom of the lift top storage area) is a bit flimsy. We don't store weighty items there, mostly redundant remotes, game controllers, etc. so I don't see it being an issue, but there it is. Otherwise, this table is solid. I really like the locking function of the lift top; it makes eating or working at the table easier with no sway or instability. The table surface itself looks like a finger joint butcher block. I expect it to hold up well to everyday wear given that it is solid wood. I went with the natural color and luckily didn't find any scratches or marks. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this table and would recommend it.

I decided to purchase mainly for three reasons: 1. All wood; no particle board 2. Folds up 3. Black finish It scores on all three of those, but assembly was a bit tricky. First off, a few scuffs existed on the top surface piece because the protection in the box could have been better. The box looked like it had been opened and re-taped so maybe it was re-packaged at one point. Assembly went pretty smooth until the final step where the sides need to get bolted to the top piece, which includes the folding top surface. For this step, you have four bolts (four corners) that need to be tightened with a slippery little hex wrench while the top is unfolded and lying on the floor sideways and its not easy to see the bolt holes in the inside corners and the clearance is tight inside for tightening the hex bolts. I needed a flashlight and a lot of patience for this last step, but I have to say I like it. It fits with my decor - I like the black finish, it is real wood and in the tight space I have for it between my couch and wood stove. I also like that it has some storage space for books, etc inside and under the folding top and it actually worked out perfectly for my situation. Also, I have to say that the folding top needed some some WD-40 on the hinging points and a bit of moving it up and down to loosen it up so the top would lift fairly easily. The top was very stiff at first and did not move easily, but now it works great! Rick

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.

Great buy. For the money this thing is solid, sturdy and yet super easy to lift the top with the spring loaded hinge mechanism. This lift top is so easy to lift but it does have a support bar going across the top of the storage space underneath so that space is limited and difficult to access while the top is up. The thing is so easy to assemble. The instructions were followable if you look close. The best thing is that the whole top comes already put together including the entire lift top mechanism. I also really like the way it clicks solidly into place with the lock/release assembly. Easy open and close released position and a strong sturdy locked open position. All in all we love it! Might be a little small but very well built and the lift top comes up and out to a great height to have leg room but still have a sturdy work surface for a desk or eating surface. The finish holds up great even with cats!

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 bought this table to be a multi-purpose option in a studio around 250 sq. ft. I needed it to function as a coffee table, dinner table and desk for a gaming desktop computer. A lot to ask of this poor table and it has killed it so far. It's ridiculously sturdy even when extended with a monitor and whatever else I feel like throwing on it. Definitely purchase this even if you don't need the extension it's super nice! My only complaint is that while it is white it looks kind of like there's one coat of paint on it and that's it so the white isn't super vibrant and it looks dirty in some places where the wood can show through more (however this makes the wood grain look super nice)

The good - It's a nice, solid, SMALL(check measurements so you aren't surprised) coffee table with a SOLID lift top. It's way more sturdy than i expected. The bad - i heard about people getting damaged pieces out of the box and made sure i checked every piece and found one cracked board. Its cracked where the wood studs go in so its not that big of a deal so i didn't bother calling to replace because i didnt want to either not have a table or have to take it apart when the replacement came in. Make sure you check for damage. Tips for putting it together - The bolts that go in with allen keys are horrible. I ended up using a drill gun with an allen key head on an awkward angle to get it in without spending an hour on each. You'll see what im talking about and curse amazon for having such a poorly thought out design. Using the gun will strip them if you aren't careful but hopefully yours will go in before stripping like mine. The screws that you have to have to use a twist cap on are annoying because they decided to not give you pre threaded holes. So it'll be easy to go in at a bad angle if you aren't careful. ALSO, the twist caps that im referring to above, are a really fragile "metal"... dont use a drill gun on them because they will (and did) strip. All in all, im happy with the purchase and would recommend it. Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and send amazon a nasty email about the bad allen key bolt spots lol read through comments and you'll see the frustration about them.

La mesa es robusta, bonita y muy fácil de armar

Produit arrivé rapidement très bien emballer. C’est du bois peint, à quelques endroit il y a des égratignures ( manque de peinture ). Voir photo Très bonne qualitée Facile à monter

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.
