I loved the look of this table, but it was impossible to put together.  My husband and I would get one side of the table together per the instructions and once we tried to fasten the opposite side, the table would fall apart.  We have plenty of experience putting things together.  One part requires glue (provided) and the glued pieces would not hold even when we switched to another glue.  One set of the anchors would not work.  After more than two hours we threw the entire thing away!  I probably should have tried to return the mess, but by that time my husband and I were both "over it"!
