The instructions were excellent, and the only issues we ran into were a couple warped boards which we were we were able to bend back into shape, and a missing threaded insert which made it impossible to use a screw in that hole, but there were three other screws in the same location, so it wasn’t a big concern.  Once it was completely assembled, we were able to convert it from full size to compact size with no issues.  This table is a great solution when you want a smaller table for most occasions, and the ability to upsize it when you have a larger crowd.
