VASAGLE Lift Top Coffee Table with Storage Shelf, 3 Compartments

I recently moved into my new apartment. Due to storage, relocation and to simply start fresh, I essentially had NO FURNITURE! I needed to start buying stuff, and fast. The whole process of designs and styles to choose from and utilizing space, etc has always been fun and exciting to me. To go through the entire process then finally get your new stuff! The catch to this is, stuff costs money. I really didn’t want to just go impulsively buy the first cheap coffee table I saw and just beat it up for 1-2 years then start the whole process over again. I really wanted to start making purchases on larger items that I can use and be happy with for 5/10/20 years. But generally those types of items cost a lot more money. After deciding on the style, size, functionality and finally a budget, I did a lot of research. I spent about 2 weeks researching coffee tables, side tables, bed frames, mattresses, carpets, desks… everything found in a home, I was researching and planning. But this review is for the coffee table you’re checking out; so let’s skip to when I decided on this VASAGLE coffee table. I am happy to review it and share that this was a fantastic purchase. Here is how I figure this to be the case. Fast shipping. Free shipping. Isn’t that why we pay for Prime? This is exactly the type of purchase that we want Prime for in the first place. The shipping box was not too bad to get into my apartment. If you have trouble moving heavier items, get your buddy involved. Easy and leisurely assembly. I don’t rush assembly. So any reviewer that brags “I got it done in like 25 minutes”; they rushed the job. They stripped various screws, forgot fasteners, scratched the surfaces, at some point realized they installed one piece incorrectly and had to take it all apart to fix their mistake, then forgot to tighten 40% of the fasteners during reassembly, then finally lie to folks for some reason and say they did it in 25 minutes. They later down the road complain that it wobbles, squeaks while the fasteners are falling out and all they can do is blame it on the manufacturer. This seems like I know these types of guys too well. I know these things because I used to be one of those guys. I have learned that you only have to assemble a new item ONCE. So when you do; do it right. I put on a movie, followed the instructions closely, then it was completed by the time the movie was over. What type of movie? 90’s Tom Clancy. Ford not Baldwin. So use that timeframe of measurement… if you care to. Sturdiness. Yes, it is sturdy. I was somewhat skeptical about the sturdiness of the hinge lift system. I was pleasantly surprised that it functions very well, while remaining quite as well. It has plenty of support for dining while cutting up a nice ribeye steak, or doing a little bit of work on your laptop. Storage. This is one of the major factors I used in selecting this table. I utilize the entire top hidden storage compartment to keep about 4 LARGE blankets in. It’s almost winter. I like blankets. Now they’re in arms reach, but hidden until I actually need them. The 3 bottom compartments are great, which was another feature that helped me narrow it down to this item. There were a couple of similar looking, but different configurations I researched and considered. I liked the empty/pass through bottom section. It opens up the table more, as opposed to just a big flush block object in the middle of your room. To add to the storage and look of the compartments, I sized, then went shopping for 2 baskets to keep in either end of the table. I’m utilizing them for accessible, but hidden nicknacks such as a couple of lesser used remotes, chargers, cat toys and cat treats. You never know when you need to reward your cat for doing something totally cute. I have some of my fav coffee table books in the middle compartment, with the occasional curious cat peep hole. Style. I like this style and design. If you’re reading this review, you probably do too. I wouldn’t, and didn’t do any research or comparison shopping on items that I didn’t find appealing visually in the first place. That would be silly. Generally a lot of folks purchase furniture on looks alone. Often true functionality is overlooked. I was lucky enough to find a coffee table that I was literally imagining in my head before I saw it. The rest of my pros on this item is why I’m writing a review for it in the first place. Price. I find this to be an excellent price. With the quality and overall finished product; I actually consider this quite a steal. This is comparable to the 7 year Max Scherzer contract the Nationals got. If that comparison doesn’t mean anything to you; I can’t help you, or you’re a Mets fan. However all you really need to know is this a excellent value-purchase that you will greatly benefit from. The price was actually below what I was budgeting for the coffee table, so when I decided on this, I was able to make a couple of additional purchases in my “want/eventually” column. I’m not close to being done fully furnishing the new apartment with everything I’m planning on; and the decor stage is a 3 month plan/activity for me to do through the rest of the year. However I was able to cross “Coffee Table” off my list. And I am very satisfied with that. #Recommend

Muy bonita mesa, ideal para espacios más pequeños. De buena calidad y fácil armado.

I have had the table for almost a year now. It still works flawlessly. Love the appearance and style. I set it up alone. It took a bit of time but was easy enough. I would recommend.

Mi pedido llegó 8 dias antes. Las instrucciones son muy claras en el instructivo. El material es de excelente calidad tanto tornillos, ensamble y herrajes. Trae su propio desarmador y llaves Allen para su armado. Me tardé 3 horas y media en el armado completo. Es una belleza de mesa. ME ENCANTÓ. ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE. Cliente muy satisfecha con la compra.

Ayuda mucho si te apoyas de buena herramienta para armarlo. Incluyendo un destornillador eléctrico. Las instrucciones son claras y precisas. Lo bueno es que vienen piezas de más porque hay una es especial que es muy delicada y fácil de romper. Se siente de buena calidad, pesado, cómodo y agradable a la vista.
