This table is fantastic. The locking mechanism is a little short, but that's ok. The directions tell you to NOT to tighten everything up until you get to the end of the process. My hubby didn't pay attention and made things too tight and didn't add the little black washers and as a result, the door wasn't able to close. He had to take it all apart and start over. The second time it worked just fine. Moral: Even if you are a guy, READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST so you don't have to do the same task twice, LOL!
