  Works well, but...

  The good: The fridge works well; the speakers sound surprisingly good; the LED down-lighting works well. From a utilitarian stand-point, it has the bases covered. But that's not why you want this product. I, for one, got it for the "WOW that's cool!" factor, and that gets ruined by a few things. The bad: · It comes packaged in the flimsiest of cardboard. As such, my table was both dented and scratched on arrival. It wasn't immediately apparent, but became so as the inner wrapping was taken off (which was far more difficult than it should be, and did little-to-nothing to prevent damage). The scratches could be painted (and were), but the dents are another story—and there were quite a few. · The control panel on top is only somewhat responsive. It often takes a few tries and a fair dose of patience to get it to do what you're trying to do. It's tough to feel like you've got a quality product when you're ready to take a hammer to it out of frustration with an unresponsive touch screen. · The glass top should really have been frosted. I didn't anticipate how much light is reflected off the table when you're trying to watch a movie in a dark room. It effectively doubles the ambient light in the room, and the moving image is really distracting when it's doubled up by something below the TV. · The glass is perpetually dirty. Finger prints appear on it seemingly by magic. Look at it wrong, and the black glass is filthy. I'm far from a clean freak, but if I were I'm sure I'd be in a round-rubber-room in a white jacket drooling on myself by now from trying to keep the glass clean. It's also *wildly* uncomfortable to have your feet on for even a small amount of time. · With clear glass tables, minor scratches or abrasions are only mildly annoying – but with the black glass, those same minor imperfections become the first (and only) thing you see. As such, I cringe even seeing a mug put on it without a coaster for fear of the "rough" bottom ring doing damage from the small amount of sliding it will do when being put down/picked up. And so, after just a few months of stressing over these details, the table was moved to a wall and is now used to keep my receiver, DVD player, and Apple TV on, and continues to work double duty to keep soda and M&Ms cold, and another, far lower maintenance table has replaced it in the center of the room.

  Did not get this directly from best buy, but preordered it off their crowdfunding campaign, which put me first in line to recieve this table. It did not disappoint. Cold drinks, charged phones, laptops, bluetooth speakers, storage drawers, easy to clean glasstop surface, and above all the touchscreen interface. The only major issue is that its been difficult to connect the table speakers to my television, which I'm having to use the bluetooth dongle that was provided, it isn't really needed of course though because my tv has a soundbar, but it would be nice to figure that small issue out eventually. Other than that issue the thing runs like a dream. I can't recommend this product enough.

  As much fun as advertised!

  This table really is as amazing as it says - the refrigerator drawer is as cold as you'd want it to be, the sound quality of the speakers is amazing, and the convenience of being able to charge my phone, laptop and tablet all within arms reach is a revelation! The other fun features like the lighting and the storage drawers are a bonus.
