We needed an inexpensive coffee table that could switch to a TV tray, and this fit the bill.
1. Assembly - a bit more complicated in assembly than most IKEA projects, it took me about an hour to put it together. Nothing overly complicated, but I did make a couple of mistakes that required me to undo some work. Overall, if you are not a fan of putting things together, this may not be for you.
2. Quality - so we expected this to be on the low end quality wise, and it was low to middle. We have had no problems so far, the hardware for raising the top will probably be our main souce of contention in the future. But one week in, having been raised at least once every day, it is working fine.
3. Value - we selected this unit mainly for the price. Cant get one from Craigslist used in this range.
