A wooden coffee table with a lifting top. There is some aesthetic distress to the top of the lifting table, but other than appearance, there is nothing wrong with it. No divots or dents. The lifting mechanism is smooth and works perfectly and the table is structurally sound. The tabletop does not spring back down without a little pull, adding some protection for anything beneath it (including curious kids or pets). The table sits evenly on the ground without wobbling.
