Purchased 2 tables. One had a crack in the table top -3cracks on the underside base strips. . Decided to use 
anyhow. Put wood glue over cracks. Second one fine. Correct about the instructions. Finally had my contractor assemble both. 
Screw sizes marked incorrectly YOU NEED TO CHANGE THAT MISTAKE.
Both side by side in my living room. Looks really nice.
