The product seems to be acceptable. There were many comments and complaints in the product review going back several years about the deficiency in the way the sections were held together. My mistake was assuming that the issue with the sections holding together would have been resolved; it has not. The sections are constantly coming apart where they are joined. Why is this an ongoing problem with the manufacturer?

Now it is becoming a safety hazard. Even with new hardware to hod the sections together -- they come apart. Please fix this issue or take the sectional back!!!
