Although we decided to keep this table there were several issues found prior to and during the assembly.  Would like to also add that the packaging of the table is excellent so no damage should be expected when the table is received.

First issue was a piece of wood (on shelf) that has no grain.  This was seen prior to assembly however we decided to accept (see picture) and this may not even bother other people but wanted to submit as part of the review.  The second issue was found during the assembly when attaching the top (see pictures).  When attaching the top it was found that the holes did not have counterbores like the holes for the shelf which makes the bolt heads exposed and causing the bolts not to tighten properly (washer under bolt is in contact with the wood around the edges only--- hope this makes sense).
