I was able to assemble this by myself (even though the directions show
one person -> frown face,
two people -> smiley face).
I did have to unscrew both sides of the hydraulic bar to be able to take off the one side it instructed.
The mechanism is very sturdy and I love the storage that it allows for. I would highly recommend having a drill handy so you don’t spend an hour attaching 20 screws for the legs.
For the price this is certainly worth it and I think it’s a beautiful coffee table.
