The holes to fasten the metal legs to the base did not line up with the predrilled holes in the base.  After a frustrating 20 minutes trying to attach the legs, I gave up and applied some thick furniture pads to the bottom of the base at each of the corners.  This appears to be a persistent issue with this piece of furniture.  I really like the look of the furniture without the legs, but  buyers should be aware of this design issue before purchasing.  Thus, I cannot recommend this unit.
