This table is very sturdy and looks great for the price, but I can't give it five stars because it comes with 4 threaded rods as part of assembly, and in my shipment two of the four rods had inadequate threading to properly screw the nuts all the way to secure the base to the top. Since there are several redundant fasteners, the table was still usable and it wasn't worth the hassle to return, but simple manufacturing mistakes like this can ruin a product.
