This was an open box item, so I anticipated a few problems. Overall ,  the condition of the table was adequate. The star pattern is amazing! The table had a couple of flaws that were easily taken care of by Guardsman Filler sticks. It was missing a couple of hex nuts and spring washers for assembly, but I purchased those for 17 cents at a hardware store. The assembly was straight forward. For the sweat equity and the 50% price, it looks wonderful!
