We are pretty happy with this table. I will say that when I was assembling it, one of the screws that fastened the base to the top actually poked through the top.

I was baffled by this, because all of the screws were the same length, and I had used a washer on every screw.

It turns out, there was a small chunk of wood inside the hole, and when I tightened the screw in that hole, the chunk of wood is what poked through the wood top.

I backed the screw out, vacuumed out the hole, and reassembled it, and tapped down on the wood top, to minimize the damage.
