I now have the table up and have my plants on it as it was supposed to be used for.  However, when I was undoing the pieces of the table I realized there was sand on my lap and couch that I was sitting on.  I originally thought it was a broken open packet of sand that had been used to space parts in the box.  Well as I kept taking things apart, it was actually coming out of the legs of the table!!  I had to vacuum my hardwood floors of sand before I scratched them from me walking on the sand on the floor.  I then had to vacuum my couch and then the table and the floor again before I got the whole thing up to be used?  What in the world is sand doing in the legs of the table?  Why wasn't a note put in the box to tell a person to put it together outside because of the sand in the box?  The table is attractive with my plants on it, but I'm not pleased to have sand all over my couch and my hardwood floors, just to put it together!!
