The top portion of the table that was supposed to remain attached to the base of the table was completely off of the base and when I put the screw in the holes that were drilled for proper placement, they would not stay in the table top. The reason was because the main portion of the table top, under the veneered top, was particle board, that appears to have gotten wet and partially dissolved leaving it somewhat dissolved and not solid enough to allow the screws to bite into the wood. Therefore, after screwing them into the top, they would all eventually just fall out, allowing the top of the table to move with the slightest pressure on any side or corner.
I was extremely disappointed with this product.
The product was defective
