I live in a small apartment - no room for a kitchen table let alone a dedicated dining area. I’ve been eating on a low coffee table for a while, it’s been terrible for my posture. There’s plenty of adjustable coffee tables here but I really liked the modern style of this one. It didn’t just look like wood planks glued together. I was a little nervous because with everything closed this table is actually shorter than my old one. But with the table lifted up it’s the perfect height to sit on the couch and eat without having to hunch over or hold the plate up. Plus I can use my laptop comfortably. Plus plus I LOVE having closed storage space where things won’t get dusty!My only complaints - and they’re very minor ones - are when lifting the table up it wobbles from side to side a bit. It’s stable once it’s up though. And it’s a little hard to life it with one hand. The other thing is the smaller side piece which slides out doesn’t sit flush when you push it back. Even if you give it a push there’s still a little gapHonestly the best part is that it came mostly assembled. All the finicky springs and inner pieces that everyone in reviews complains about in other tables come already put together. The screws for the legs are a bit small and fiddly, but I’ll take that over putting together an entire table any day! It was also the most well-packaged thing I’ve ever bought off amazon. The cardboard support and foam protecting the corners were so sturdy and solid my roommate actually kept them for craft projects. There’s not a single scratch anywhere I could find. I’m actually kind of sad this company doesn’t sell any other furniture.
