If I can set this up without hassle, anyone can
After reading reviews and some relevant Qs & As, I was a bit concerned about my ability to deal with the table by myself. I'm elderly, limited in how much I'm supposed to lift, have some mobility issues, and generally lack mechanical aptitude. I ordered the table anyway, because it looked perfect for my purpose and is so modestly priced. (Irritating to find it even cheaper, by $8.00, two days after I bought it.)
I need not have worried. The table was easy to unpack, and there wasn't a lot of packing material to dispose of. The table itself was easy to open, and the lock slid nicely into place. The legs opened smoothly and easily, and the "click" told me they were locked. I sat the table upright and then had no trouble adjusting the height by myself, doing one side at a time. I put a foot on the cross-brace, pushed in the buttons on both legs, lifted, and things snapped right into place at the desired height. I repeated that on the other side. From unpacking to final set-up was a matter of minutes. If I can do it, believe me, anyone can.
Now, having said all that, I will mention that the lock doesn't feel as secure as it should, the gap between the two halves is larger than I expected, and even at a low setting there is wobble None of that matters to me, given the use I put the table to, but could cause problems for some; thus, four stars instead of five.
