SO - this table is truly adorable and very functional.  nice and heavy... with lots of possibilities.  however, the first one i received had improperly drilled holes for the little spindles, there were no holes drilled in the shelves, to attach them to the little metal brackets, and two days after i assembled the table, the top began to crack along some of the glue seams.  wayfair was more than happy to send out a replacement, which i appreciated.  unfortunately, the replacement was damaged before i took it out of the box.  no harm done, wayfair refunded my money, which i appreciated (they have always stood by their products).  but, i'd really love a prep table - that isn't broken, instead.
