This was a real adventure. It is true what "they" say ... you get what you pay for. My table arrived. It seemed to be packed well but one piece was broken. I contacted customer support which simply turned around to order me an entire second table kit - manufacturer directive as opposed to shipping me the one piece that was broken. I kept the first kit close by, no telling what might arrive with second kit. Second kit arrived with pieces in tact but each table panel had a strange worn area on it. I used all except the broken piece from kit #1 and kit #2 had some connector pieces that were bad which were substituted from kit#1 rendering me: Franken-Table. It looks nice enough but there was a lot of waste between the two kits. I found the instructions perfectly fine.
