I bought 2 of these and was a tad bit let down. Both tables had bent rods used to connect the long bars to the other side of the table. These are welded joints, so.bending them back really weakened them. This was not that big a deal because it is not supporting a lot of weight for us. The second table was the real problem. The bracket the wood sits on was not properly attached in the right spot so they did not line up/with the board to screw in the screws. we had to bend the table to.get 4 of the 6 screws in. In order to do that, the wood insert looks crooked in the frame. We bought it for cheap so expectations were not high so.it works for us. Do not buy this if you are a perfectionist. However, if you need a cheap, nice looking sofa table, this is for you.
