Actually it is beautiful. But the wood dowels were to small. They weren't even snug. They leaned a little sideways in the holes. But having the right Gorilla glue made this easy. It is in the fine print on the Gorilla glue bottle. If you read it, it expands up to four times the amount you put in. So this is solid. Even with just the bolts it is solid. As the glue expands it might come out on the edges. Just scrap it off with your finger nails or a putty knife and your done. It isn't going anywhere. Worth the effort. Don't let these little problems stop you. Easily solved.
