We needed a table to place behind the sofa to face into the room.  It is a great "study table" where my daughter can do here law school studies and still be facing out into the room rather than at a blank wall.
The lock washers were included .....but not the larger metal washers.... It took a couple trips to Home Depot to get it right due to the metric measurements. We are very happy with our purchase!!

Pros: Very economical....would be easy to paint any color
Cons: Shipping left out the 2nd set of washers
