OLIXIS Wood Lift Top Coffee Table with Hidden Compartment and Large Storage Shelf Lift Tabletop Dining Center Table

I got this table on sale and I didn't have high expectations given the price. As is true of a lot of things, in general, good furniture ain't cheap, and cheap furniture ain't good. But I've been pleasantly surprised. I'll say first that I actually needed a small coffee table. I've seen reviews that seem surprised at how small it is; yes, it's pretty small. That said, I'd have been ok if it was even smaller! It's not tiny, but it is maybe 10% smaller than the coffee table I have in my main living room. (I was buying this for a family/game room.) For reference, in the picture I uploaded, that's the new Atari 2600+, not the original Atari 2600, so it's smaller than you might be thinking. So be aware of that. It's great if your couch has to be fairly close to whatever it's facing, though. That was my situation, so I actually found this in a search for "small coffee table". As you might expect from the price, this table is Chinese-made, flat-pack shipped and made of particle board with a laminate on top for looks. That said, it's done well. If you've ever bought IKEA furniture, it's basically an exact copy of that. It requires some assembly, but it's fairly simple. I did it in about an hour and I had to take several breaks because I had a cold while doing it! I also did it all by hand. There are a bunch of screws and bolts you need to screw in, so a power tool of some sort would help. But it's not hard even to do manually. The instructions are absolutely not hard to follow. I've seen a couple of other reviews that say otherwise. Put your thinking cap on and use your brain. It shows you exactly what to do. I had no problems at all following the instructions. I've seen pictures someone posted in another review that clearly showed an obvious mistake in following the instructions (I can see exactly where they went wrong) that they then blamed on a manufacturing error. No, look again. Measure twice, cut once, as they say. Don't rush through the build and you'll be fine. When fully assembled, the table looks good and is very functional. I'm not using a laptop like they show in the official pictures but I appreciate that there is storage in there when you lift the top. There's also storage on the sides. The table itself feels pretty solid. I'd make sure you use coasters for your drinks because this kind of laminate always warps if it gets wet for too long, but that's hardly unique to this table. My only real critique - and I've seen others mention this too - is that the two top panels, one of which lifts and the other doesn't, don't *quite* line up right on my table. I mean the gap in between them is probably 2mm on one side and 1mm on the other. This definitely *can* be adjusted by adjusting the exact positioning of the hinges on the movable top, but it's kind of a pain to do that and not really worth it unless you have extreme OCD. I'm fine with it. It's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it (I was). And again, at this price, I was never really expecting absolute perfection. But it's just worth mentioning if you're someone who has to have everything just right. Again, cheap furniture. Spend more if you want perfection. I'm totally happy with it for what I paid.

I absolutely LOVE this coffee table, its perfect for my apartment and even gives me a little single person serving area for the living room! GREAT choice if you live alone! And it was honestly really easy to assemble! It definitely closes a little fast, would watch fingers if you have little ones. But this is definitely a beautiful modern little coffee table! Read more

Pretty good table for the price! Nothing fancy but functional in its storage capacity and easy to assemble. Sturdy, materials are sufficient, and it comes packaged nice and snug. Read more

Looks great and fairly simple to assemble, just hope you have a power tool. Alignment of holes is a bit off and the screwdriver it comes with isn't great, but other than that i love it. I have a fairly small sofa and the lift top comes perfectly over my knees whilst sitting down. It also seems to hold more weight than it is rated for. Would recommend watching the video listed on the manual though, definitely helps give a better visual. Read more

Super sturdy! The lifting top is perfect for computers or food or anything. Lightweight and easy to build. The lifting top is very stable and aligns nicely with the rest of the top. And the storage in the top is so nice! Did take a bit long to build but worth it Read more

I like it! It’s not the GREATEST quality, which was expected it was less than $60 but I am very content with it. Took me about an hour to build using a my lil pink power drill🤩. It’s great for my first apartment and has good storage. I was nervous reading other reviews about the wood splitting, but I had no problems with it and even took screws out because I thought I messed something up (which I did not, just didn’t read far enough in the instructions to understand lol) and was able to put them back in fine. The hydraulic hinges on the inside do need to be attached with the screwdriver given or the screws will go in a little diagonal. I wish the close was a little softer, but besides that it seems like it’ll be a perfect little coffee table and double as a work area. It’s not giant, which I appreciate as I don’t want to get comfortable and clutter it, and it definitely saves space in my apartment. Yay! Ideally I would love to upgrade to something with a better quality eventually, but for my first coffee table ever, I’m very happy with it. I would give it 4 stars as I would really love something with a better quality, but I don’t think I can beat this price point for a table like this. Read more

This table was relatively easy to put together, just need to take your time and follow the instructions. I appreciated that all the needed tools and parts were included and everything fit together as they should. I was a bit worried by some reviews about the quality of the screws and hardware, but I had no problem, you just need to go slow and make sure you get all the screws straight and apply adequate pressure, or I could see that you might strip the screws. The look of the table is great and fits in well with our existing decor. We love the lift top feature, it’s so convenient for doing work on your laptop or eating a meal. We’ve had the table for a couple months now, and it has held up well, easy to clean, hot items or drinks don’t leave water marks easily. The only knock against it is that the corners are really sharp, and you’ll easily scrape your shins if you’re not careful. So we just got some low profile clear corner protecters that did the trick. Overall, good product for the money. Read more

I lovee this table but it’s a nightmare to build. The tools it comes with are pretty much useless. After hours of 2 ppl trying to screw the “pre drilled holes” and unclear instructions- I ended up having to borrow a power drill. After that it was put together with ease. The box was also damaged but the table was fine. 3.5 stars⭐️ Read more
