The table looks nice and actually seems pretty sturdy however the top of the base cracked as soon as I installed the tabletop. Not sure if mine was defective as this doesn't seem consistent with other reviewers. Someone else commented that their table base wouldn't push all the way down without WD40 and I experienced a similar rigidness when trying to get the base to push down. The table looks nice but I will be sending mine back because of the crack.
