We purchased this table for a vacation home that we have that is 300+ miles away.  When we hauled the table to the vacation home and set it up, we were very disappointed that of the 8 screws holding the four legs on the bottom of the table, two were stripped in the cast iron of the table.  I was so very careful of this very thing as I set it up because the last thing I wanted was for a bolt to go in crooked and cause the threads to strip.  I'm convinced that the threads were not correct from the get go. If this had not happened, I would have been very pleased with the quality of the table.
