I bought 2 of these. The first one was assembled great and just what I needed. I knew it wasn't the most sturdy table, but I was going to use these for my sun room. The 2nd one, however, had a dowel that was way too long and warp the very top of the table as I was assembling it. I now have a brand new end table that's not usable. Since the warp was on top, I can't hide it.
