Promising review: "This is a much better piece of furniture than I ever expected to get. It’s solid wood — even the panel put on the back is nice. And as soon as I ordered it, I had been dreading putting it together, and all I had to do was screw the legs on. The drawers glide, the wood is top-notch, and it’s lovely. Great purchase!" —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $269.

Promising review: "I wanted a lift-top table that was both round (so my big dog could walk around it without getting stuck) and small enough for my space, and this was really the only one I could find. I’m very happy with it. My husband and I lift it up and eat dinner while watching Netflix once or twice a week. It isn’t soft close, but it also won’t pinch your fingers. Just hold onto it when closing it, or it will slam down." —Bbqsauce

Promising review: "Love this table! If you’re looking for something that’s easy on the eye, but durable during the toddler stages, this is it! We switched out or glass coffee table until our little guy is a bit older, and this was a great replacement!" —KB

Get it from Target for $42 (available in three wood finishes).

Promising review: "Honestly, a really nice table for an affordable price! Our friends were shocked when we told them how much it was; they expected it would cost $300+! The best part is the sliding side of the table where we keep our remotes and other stuff. It helps keep the top of the table clean but is also super functional. Love it." —Ceep

Get it from Wayfair for $319.99 (originally $817).

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, and when I say rarely, I mean this is my first review. Let me just say that putting this coffee table together was the highlight of my boyfriend’s and my day. It was simple and quick (and fueled by a large amount of Colorado beer, woo!) and looks divine in our living space. I fit 35 winter jackets in there, along with a 25-lb bag of cat food, a comforter, and my great-aunt Winifred (JK). If you’re looking for style and storage — look no further and order this exceptional piece." —kkravitsky

Promising review: "It’s very nice and has plenty of storage! Initially, it's a bit hard to pull up and down, can't do it with one hand or from one side; you have to evenly pull up and push down from both sides. For the price, it's surprisingly great." —Ana

Promising review: "Very easy to assemble. It's lightweight because the top is hollow core. It's a bright white melamine laminate with a dull finish. Easy to clean. Perfect fit a small space and fits storage cubes under it really well." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love my pouf! The perfect height to put my feet on and sturdy enough to use as a little place to set my things if I am lying on the couch watching TV. Would definitely buy again!" —Cindy

Promising review: "I was a little bit cautious when I found an ottoman for $90, but I was absolutely blown away when I received this! It feels very sturdy. I was able to assemble it myself within about five minutes with the provided Allen wrench. The faux leather top looks and feels very nice; like something you’d find in a furniture store for triple the price. I bought this so that my husband and I could use it as a footrest when we sit on the couch together, and both of our legs fit on it perfectly. I’m extremely happy with my purchase." —Savannah Berry

Promising review: "I really like this table. It’s a nice low-profile, smaller coffee table for a small living room or a sectional sofa, and for me that is perfect. It’s a nice thick acrylic, which means that yes it will scratch, but it will not shatter if your cat runs into it. That’s the main reason I chose acrylic over glass, but glass may be a bit better if you don’t have kids or a pet since it’s more scratch-proof. Overall, I like this table and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller table that leaves a room looking open." —Rain

Get it from Amazon for $245+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Came put together. Nice and cute. It's hollow inside, so it can make noise if banged on, or kids play cars or toys on it like mine. Lol. But nice for the price for a small-ish area or if not wanting a big table." —Rochelle

Get it from Amazon for $166.48.

Promising review: "Love this item! We use it every day as a coffee table and desk/dining space. Also love being able to store throws and stationary in the table as well as magazines and stuff.'" —Donna

Get it from Wayfair for $269.99 (originally $716.48).

Promising review: "Table looks good when fully assembled and it feels sturdy. As other reviews mention it takes some time to assemble, but the instructions are clear and the pieces fit together well (all you need is the Allen wrench they provided and a Phillips-head screwdriver). Very satisfied with purchase." —rk

Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in four finishes).

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and very sturdy. The glass is thick and sits tightly on the frame. It’s perfect for a small living room space. Would recommend!" —Amanda

Promising review: "This coffee table is the best thing ever if you eat on the couch in front of a TV. It's well built, is packaged so it will arrive undamaged, and is better than a 'regular' coffee table in every respect. The top is easy to open, and the hydraulic shocks are slowly closing. The storage is useful for things that you want nearby but not sitting out (extra remotes, etc.). The opening top is the real star... it's like you're eating at your kitchen table. There's less crumbs on the floor and less salsa on my clothes." —Mammynun

Promising review: "I absolutely love this table. It took two minutes to assemble. It's very sturdy and the metal is thick so will not bend or warp. The style is so modern but would really go with any style decor. The size is perfect! I'm using it as a coffee table in my apartment, and it doesn't obscure the entire sofa so will be easy to vacuum around and move." —Colleen Williams

Promising review: "I love this table! It’s well built, and a solid piece! Exactly what I was hoping for.Came out of the box in one piece and I couldn't have been happier about it!! Lots of storage underneath. Nice wood top. Gorgeous and matches my sofa perfectly. Love love love this table." —Sarah

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has this coffee table and loves it: "I've owned this coffee table for close to two years now and have been nothing but happy with it. Assembly was time-consuming but straightforward, and the piece feels solid. My partner and I eat dinner off the lift-top most evenings, and it still looks as good as the day we got it (though admittedly I'm a bit anal about coaster usage). And all that storage!!! Despite the many, many board games, miscellaneous cords, gaming controllers, and remotes that have taken up residence, this coffee table still has room to spare. A HUGE asset in my NYC apartment!"

Promising review: "I love the look and size of this table! The storage area is great for hiding my mail and other small items. I put this together without any problems! It seems sturdy and I don't have any issues with the lift. I was also able to use my own baskets underneath that are 9" in height! The only thing I wish it had was stickers to hide the screw holes on each side. Other than that, I would recommend this coffee table." —Kristy

Promising review: "I wanted something relatively small for a condo, with a classic design that blended in rather than stood out, and that had storage for books, remotes, cocktail napkins, etc. I also didn't want to spend too much money. This table (in gray) is perfect. I assembled it by myself too! This doesn't look like a $500 piece of furniture — because it isn't. I wish there was one more layer of paint on the top so the wood grain was less visible. But all in all, this was a good purchase and will last a few years." —leora

Promising review: "I wanted a modern coffee table that would let you see the design of the rug. Perfect. Came well packaged (given that it is glass) and is super durable tempered glass. We have two big dogs and I’m confident it would hold up if they bumped into it." —Janetta

Get it from Wayfair for $235.99+ (originally $519, available in three colors).

Promising review: "I purchases this storage item as a coffee table for my small sectional sofa area. I wanted metal specifically, as my cats love to stick their claws into anything fabric or leather/pleather, and I was tired of trying to keep them from engaging in this natural cat behavior! As I looked at my once lovely leather storage ottoman, with many cat claw holes, I thought, "I'll fix you guys by getting a metal ottomon!" I came across this storage table, and determined it would work perfectly as a small coffee table! I purchased the gold hammered table, and was extremely pleased with the look and the functionality of the generous storage. It is very attractive, sturdy, and indestructible to cat claws!! It's heavy enought to be stable, but not too heavy to move when needed! I definitely recomment this pet-proof storage table. For those without pet issues, it would still be an attractive addition to your home or office!" —JO

Promising review: "Color, shape, and quality look just as described. It's not too big, but it provides decent storage. I just moved to a small apartment, and I needed ways to 'hide' some of the stuff I don't use regularly but don't want to get rid of. I was able to fit two fluffy bed pillows, with a little bit of room to spare for other loose items. I'm using it as a side table next to the couch for now. No assembly required." —Maria
