Good product and the base is fine if you put all the bolts and screws in and tighten them - not sure about all the other complains about that.  BUT - this is a heavy piece with not enough padding in the box.  My order arrived cracked with the crack running all the way across one end and half way up a side.  WF is sending me a replacement and I hope its in better shape, but the package handling by Fedex ground is not "tender" enough for these to arrive unscathed.
