I love this coffee table. It has a great look and is very durable. Assembly is well defined however there are 2 issues I had with the table top.
1) Installing the spring was very difficult. The spring is sent separately from the hinge/bracket and you need to stretch the spring to connect the two points. It would be helpful if these were already connected, or if one side was connected and locked in place. It poses a risk of snapping the spring back and causing damage to the product or the person assembling. Im also worried it will pop off in the future because nothing is locking the spring in place other than its own strength.
2) Its been noted a few times, but screwing the top to the base is not easy. I was able to complete this alone with a few pillows to prop up the top and some luck with the screw placement, but it is in no way ideal. Id strongly suggest having someone to help for this portion at the very least.
Overall a very good product that I love, but a lot of frustration to get to that point.
