I bought this coffee table on clearance after another buyer returned it.  Well, as I was trying to assemble, I wondered if I was crazy because I was having so much trouble.  I began to think it was a lost cause and the previous buyers were right about it.  I decided to give it one more shot and see if maybe the legs had been mislabeled.  It worked! Glad I gave it another shot because I love it in my living room!
