the turn buckles that are for looks but attached from the bottom intermediate member to the members directly beneath the wood top were were not right.  long story short, once you mount the two (2) turnbuckles to the bottom members then got to mount to the members directly beneath the wood top the pre-drilled holes don't align.  It look like the pre-drilled holes were set up for a different configuration of the bottom members, meaning they look to be set up to run in the opposite direction or between the other vertical not currently attached to anything.  the instructions even showed this, however the actual pieces didn't line up that way.  anyway, I made it work since its on decorative but its still not right.  see pictures attached.
