I kind of cracked the leg part of it when I was putting the table together. Fortunately, my husband and I were able to remedy it with a couple of nails and some wood glue.  Once the table was put together, it looked beautiful and unless you were looking for the flaws, you couldn't see where it was cracked. I am so glad that we didn't have to try to return it. It really is a pretty table and lift top works really well.
