I had a nook built and bought this table for it.  My carpenter installed the nook this past weekend and put the table together as well.  When he opened the box he found one of the pieces (a brace for underneath the table) was broken in half and had to be glued it together.  I took a picture after the fact but the cracks can be seen where it was broken. I'm just glad he was here to fix it, just sorry I didn't take a picture before he glued it together.
