It's alright

The last of couple of steps were confusing in the instruction booklet. Some holes seemed a bit small when trying to screw in, felt like I was stripping the screw.

You Get What You Pay For

This isn't a piece of fine-furniture. It's a kit containing veneered particle board and all of the cam locks, wood dowels, screws, and nuts/bolts needed to put it together. You'll need a couple of screwdrivers (drill with a Phillips bit), the included Allen-wrench, and a black Sharpie to touch-up where nicked or the fit isn't quite aligned. Just what I expected for a couple of hundred bucks. I use it in a area where the function is more important than the look. It doesn't look bad. Looks like you would expect.This takes some time to assemble. As shown in the Home Depot picture, the "cut-out" under the part of the top that lifts faces away from the user. You reach over and raise the top from the front. The storage is in the front, not really accessible from the user while seated. That being said, I didn't understand why the base mounts the way it does. It puts the crossbar in the way of your feet. Contrary to another review, the base can be reversed and turned the other way. I did so and the crossbar is now under the "cut-out".Also, the secret of mounting the lift-top is to not do it as instructed. I installed the two lifting mechanisms inside the table with the twelve screws and then attached the lift-top. You'll have to line-up the four lift-top bolts from inside the unit, but it sure is way easier than trying to attach the mechanisms inside the unit with twelve screws while simultaneously holding the lift-top. Do Step 10 before Step 8. Less

Dont waste your money

The lift top doesnt even work. The hinge is off. I want my money back

Nice Look

From first appearance, it seemed like a difficult job to assemble but it went along quite well until I got to the tabletop that was designed to pull up and out. It was very cumbersome to attached the lifts to the inside area due to limited accessibility and visibility. It would be wise and helpful to use another person to hold the top while the other tightens in the screws. The instructions are typical China-made, only diagrams used to assemble components. Overall it's a pretty good coffee table but the composite wood might cause some concern.

Sturdy and low profile

I'm using this coffee table in my office/theatre room, which is a fairly tight space so I appreciate the "low profile" look of this table. The steel legs offer a lot of support without being a large blocky visual obstruction in the middle of the room. Assembly wasn't too bad, the usual cam locks and allen head bolts. I did appreciate that the steel to wood unions used a stronger machine nut which anchored into the wood with teeth, you could really feel it bite in as you started to tighten it up. The surface is a little prone to fingerprint marks, like all semi-gloss black surfaces. Probably my only frustration is the orientation of the flip up top. The table designers seem to think you want it to go away from the couch (so you can access the cubby hole under it)... but I would MUCH rather have it come towards the couch (so you can set a cup or plate on it while you're sitting down). It's not a big deal, but it is a little frustrating because every other raise top coffee table I've ever had comes towards the couch. And to those of you wondering why I don't just switch the hardware, or rotate the legs... you can't, because of the way the holes are set on the inside surfaces. Overall, that's not enough to make me hate this, it's a nice table and we'll get lots of use out of it. Less

nice coffee table!

I really like the look and feel of this modern coffee table. It goes well with a variety of design choices, and has top-notch functionality as well. One section of the table top is able to be lifted to create an elevated table top (convenient for eating from), and also revealing some storage below (perfect for games, movies, or whatever). The assembly was straightforward for the most part, but having an additional set of hands is definitely helpful. I'm really enjoying this table!

Easy to assemble and looks good.

For a boxed furniture piece I actually like it. The size is about perfect and the lift up top is a nice feature to add to its usability. Works good for a laptop. Plan on a 20 minute or so assembly time with easy to follow instructions and all hardware included. All that’s needed to a Philips head screw driver. It’s made out of particle board and covered in vinyl/plastic film.Probably not the best table to set items that may have moisture plants or cups without something to protect the surface. Also I wouldn’t suggest heavy objects or people sit on it.

Sharp looking and innovative!!

The Teamson Home Bryson lift top coffee table is sharp looking.It is made out of particleboard covered with a vinyl wood veneer, and is assembled with a mix of cam bolts, wood dowels, and screws.The instructions are very clear with step-by-step photos, and all the hardware was labeled perfectly inside many little bags. I was actually having fun assembling this for about 45 minutes, and then I reached the last piece to be installed.The last piece you put on is the lift top board, and you’re probably gonna need 2 people to install this. I was by myself so I ended up using foam packaging blocks from the box to hold the brackets in the air to the right height so they could be screwed in the sides of the coffee table (see photo).There are 12 small screws all together needed to install the lift top brackets to the side of the coffee table, and you only have a little bit of space to reach your hand in to turn the screws (see photo). I wish there was some sort of a bracket that you screwed to the coffee table 1st and then have the lift top board clip into that. It’s almost impossible to hold it in the air and screw it in at the same time as mentioned earlier.I finally got the lift top board on after about 20 minutes, so all together full assembly took me just over one hour.The table is sturdy, and the 2 air pistons that hold the lift top up are able to support up to 50 pounds. I like that the lift top has a soft close feature as you push it down. The stationary portion of the coffee table is able to hold up to 80 pounds.All together I give this table 4 out of 5 stars because about 90% of the assembly is extremely easy up until you reach mounting the lift top board. The directions and all the hardware are very easy to follow, and the table is sturdy.My wife was impressed at how the table looked once I completed building it. Less

Coffee table that is storage!

I haven’t had a coffee table for about 6 months, but the last one I did have also was a “storage” table - this is honestly such an awesome table and I never feel like it’s “in the way” or taking up so much excess room due to the fact that I can put things inside of it. Super sturdy, took a bit to put together but no complaints over it!

Love it!

This coffee table is perfect for the living room that wants a modern touch. It is absolutely gorgeous in person. The 2 tome wood makes it look really expensive. We love the loft top table, it makes life so simple. No more leaning over to do a puzzle! The hinges to lift it are amazing and it glides so smooth. It seems extremely well built and sturdy. It will stand the rest of time, even with kids! We love this table!

Nice Solid Table

I'm very pleased with my new Teamson Home lift top coffee table. It was pretty simple to assemble. It's very sturdy and solid which is important with my 3 year old grandson running around. I am tall and I work from home, so I love that half of the table lifts up so it makes it easier to work on my laptop without having to strain my back leaning over. It looks stylish and also has some room for storage.

Stunning!

We just bought a new house this fall and I have been so excited to decorate. We have had a cheapy coffee table for the last 10 years that has turned into a toddler table and thought we should move up. The Teamson Home Lift Top Coffee Table is probably my most favorite addition to the home! It is absolutely stunning and extremely durable! I have always wanted a lift top and am excited to finally have one! It is a nice height and width, doesn't feel too bulky, but makes a statement and is very functional. It was pretty easy to put together and affordable for what you get. Made very high quality. I am a fan and love that we have this in hour home!

Wonderfully innovative!

I am in love with this coffee table! It is the perfect size and height. It is super sleek looking. Love the real wood accents with the black. Love, love, love the lift top!!! Perfect for any kind of work, your laptop and even eating! You can store a lot of important items under the lift top, it's huge! The metal base is super sturdy. Looks great and is super functional, I highly recommend.

Love hate relationship

This took me almost six hours to put together. The instructions are lacking and not always very clear. They give you these round things that hook into another piece but it's unclear how to use them. After a bit I just stuck the round part in there and played around until I figured it out. The round parts didn’t look like anything in the picture and looked like there was a + and - that I couldn’t locate. This wasn't the only part that was difficult to put together. I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to hold the lift top up, keep it up, and screw in about twelve screws. After about the six hour mark I gave up because I had to get the kids from school. My husband undid a few steps and installed the brackets a different way and was able to get it done but took him about an hour.While spending this long trying to figure out the instructions was extremely frustrating, the table is well built and very sturdy. I really liked that they sent packing material that looked like scraped parts of the table. It saved the table from being damaged as the packing board was broken and not the table. (they label the pieces so you know) Be gentle installing everything as it seems you get one shot to do it right since you are screwing right into the wood.Overall I am very happy with the outcome, but wish the instructions were clearer. I will probably never attempt to put anything together by this brand together again. Less

Beautiful piece

Got this as we are redecorating our living room. This came very well packaged and the directions were clear and easy to follow. Once put together it was gorgeous and is very high quality. It completes the room very nicely.

Pretty great

Received this and was excited to put it together which I found was relatively easy to do although a second person would have been better. I love the drawer because I can store remotes and other things I want to declutter. I also really like the size-not to big as I have a small space- and the color.

Looks great!

I wanted a new coffee table with some storage. I eat and work in my living room frequently so the lift top is a great place to set up my computer. I took me about an hour to assemble the coffee table. All of the hardware was in numbered baggies. Each step listed the number bag you needed to get the hardware from. ( there was an extra of each type of hardware. It was easy until you needed to attach the lift top. You need two people to assemble it. There is now way to hold the top and screen in the brackets without help. It was hard to reach in and get enough force to screws (six on each side) in the bracket. I might of been easier to attach the brackets to the table first then add the top. You also need two hand to lift the top. Grab the front and back and lift slightly and it pops up. It has a soft close and slowly drops down when pushed. It stay in the up position until you push it down. Less
