Sauder Palladia Lift Top Coffee Table, Vintage Oak finish

As all these Sauder pieces, it is pretty difficult to assemble. However, once you get past that, it is a nice attractive table. The top goes up and down easily and softly - does not fall down and bang. The two of us eat dinner on it quite often and we love it!

For the price, this is a great piece of furniture. Mine came with all parts in excellent condition. The instructions are very easy to understand and have clearly labeled images. The writers of the booklet have a good sense of humor: halfway through they advise taking a break to refill your drink, and after the last step they suggest it's nap time. Be advised, it is a laminate particle board (i.e. not real wood), but it is very heavy/dense. Due to the material, it is easy to scratch, so make sure to be careful when assembling and to use coasters, placemats, and such afterwards.The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was the assembly time. The whole process from opening the box, checking to make sure all pieces were included (there are A LOT of different hardware pieces that look very similar), and getting it assembled took me well over 4 hours. (Quick note: I am not particularly handy and was being extra meticulous by double and triple checking every instruction.) Also, you will need another person's help to hold up the top of the table as you screw in the lift mechanism, but these are the very last steps in assembly.Overall, I am very happy with the table. I've had it fully assembled and functional for nearly two weeks. It's great for a small apartment with no room for a dining table. The lift table raises to a perfect height to eat off of or to use a laptop on. The lift mechanism has some "spring" to it, so be careful what you have on top of the table when you're raising and lowering it. Due to how heavy the particle board is, the table is extremely sturdy. It even holds up against my kitten jumping on the table when lifted. If you're looking for a lift coffee table, but don't want to pay an exorbitant amount of money for real wood table, this is an excellent alternative.Lastly, here is the link to this item on the original company's website: [...]

Pain in the neck to assemble - is an understatement. I would say that half of the parts that needed to be put together could’ve been shipped pre-assembled. Additionally, some of the corners are very sharp, I’ve already lost two toes.That being said, the table is sturdy and looks great for the price. The mechanism seems like it will last. Great product.

This coffee table looks more expensive than it is. Takes a while to put together but it’s not difficult. There was a dent in the top when received but contacted the seller and they sent a replacement with no issues. Will definitely purchase from them again.

Very sturdy and a beautiful cherry color. The lift top doesn't take too much effort to open and has a soft close. The spaces at the bottom are big enough for decor or good size baskets. One person assembly with pretty good instructions. Do not use a drill! It took me a good hour to put together. Really sturdy and well crafted.

We have quite a few items from Sauder in vintage oak and we were excited about this coffee table since we have a small apartment and don't have a kitchen table yet. The look is nice, maybe a little too bulky with the leg features but otherwise really nice. The ability to make it into a table is really clutch. It's kind of annoying to open it though and I do worry I'm going to pull the thing apart lol! My main issue is the fact that it scratches so easily. Barely moving things around on it has caused actually scratched in the surface as well as scratches that you can see when the light hits is just right. It's disappointing but for the price, I understand...

Pros:-Directions are easy to follow, and breaks things down well, everything is clearly labeled.-Very Sturdy overall, with lots of storage and a great lifting surface! Highly functional and the lift top is perfect.-Most importantly, it is what I wanted and what I expected.Cons:-The hole placement is occasionally questionable, which isn't helped by the fact that assembly is awkward in places. Certain things don't *quite* line up. Putting on the pillar trim on the corners is probably the best example of this.-Definitely don't try to use a power drill to put it together, I destroyed a screw that way and-There is no extra hardware included. If you mess up at all, you'll have to make a trip to the hardware store.-The finish scratches extremely easily.Honestly I'm happy with it, as I did a lot of comparison shopping and this was the exact design I was looking for at one of the best possible price points, but if you're looking for something a bit more on the formal side you would probably want to jump for something that demands a slightly higher budget.

I love this collection! We own an entertainment table, bookshelf, and now the coffee table. Parts are the assembly are more difficult but for the most part it is easy assembly just takes time to do so. You will need help with some parts of the assembly. Other parts can be done by 1 person. Nice quality for a great price!

This is a solid, great looking table. Assembly was pretty easy. Did it by myself. Instructions are very well written and clear.

Table came before the delivery date. Was so pleased with this table. You have to assemble it yourself and the instructions are step by step and very easy. Looks exactly as shown in the picture. Table looks beautiful in livingroom. Wood colour is nice .

Table looks fabulous and good quality. The good bargain for the price.

Beautiful table! I love it!! I love the lift top and the solid structure. The customer service is also amazing! I had an issue with a piece arriving cracked and they sent me a new piece no problem! I'm very happy with the products and service here!

This piece fits perfectly. the top raises to the perfect height. it was not too difficult to put together. instructions are very clear and pieces are labeled.
