Given the low price, we expected a simply constructed table with MDF "wood" shelves and, while we have absolutely no complaints about the materials used in this table--in fact, they're quite nice for the price--the pieces do not line up properly when assembled. This is obviously a quality control issue. One has to wonder why a table can not be constructed with identical inexpensive materials to this one but with parts that are actually measured to fit! The metal frame screw hole are placed so that no matter how it's assembled, parts of the frame extend beyond the shelves unevenly. The frame also does not fit flush against the shelves. Since we are using this table for an outdoor screened patio, we're just going to call it more rustic than it's meant to be, but honestly--if you're planning on using it as an indoor decorative piece, you will be disappointed.  Too bad because the design is really nice.
