Table is sturdy enough and easy to assemble, but the table top is all uneven.  Trust me, I understand slate, I have it in a bathroom, I know its naturally uneven.  The problem is the way the slate was attached, you can visibly see how its poorly put together, you will not be able to put a drink on it without having it topple over,,, if the slate was installed properly and evenly it would be just fine.  Oh well big candle it is..
