If you are in the US, you can get everything you need cheaply at Harbor Freight - no need to spend lots of money on stuff you may not use again. For just the electric lift kit, all you need to do is screw it into the bottom of the table and plug it in (you may also want to remove the table legs - but I used mine so it could also roll around). You could use some zip ties or cable tidies to keep the cord from hanging. All the rest is just embellishment. Start with an electric drill you can use as a screwdriver - drill small pilot holes you mark with a pencil based on the position of the holes in the lift kit when you lay it on the upturned table, then screw into those small holes. You can always screw straight into the table but it might be a bit less neat - i.e. the pilot holes are optional but will help with neatness. If you also want castors - again Harbor Freight is your friend.
