I have built an entire bedroom sets by myself so building a coffee table from a flat pack should not be any issue for me. But the instructions and parts for this coffee table have so many issues that i struggled to finish it.
First of all, some of the metal pieces have extra materials on it that make assembly impossible. I need to file and cut them off before I can fit the parts together.
Secondly, the hydraulic mechanism is different than the one printed in the instructions. The position for the screws and the extension arms are not what is printed on the instructions. And two of the 4 screws are right under the arm of the hydraulic extension that it took me 20 minutes to put them in. I could only do a quarter turn each time. The two horizontal rectangle bars are not in correct dimension that there is no way Part H in the hardware pack can be put on.
Thirdly, the directions and positions of the boxes components are opposite to reality. I have assembled furniture enough that I could tell where the wood dowels should go. But the instructions was wrong.
Lastly, there was nothing In the instructions that said I need to stretch the hydraulic mechanism to reach the width of the assembly. The width of the assembly was an inch shorter than the box that it needs to be mounted on. I almost gave up and return the product.
