First one ordered, arrived faster than predicted, and went together easily. (I wish the allen wrench were a little longer for my large man/hands). Table was much better than we imagined and the family has been very happy with it // purchased for my wife, the kids keep stealing it!
Ordered a second, and everything seemed ok, but soon after a few uses, a very annoying squeak has started happening. After trying to tighten all the screws, (which helped a tiny bit), I found the offending piece to be the straight support bar between the two legs. It seems to be perhaps slightly off cut. Its so small a variance, that I cannot see it with my eyes, but could hear the gap from the squeaking. I used a little motor oil to lube it, but that didnt help much. Then I cut small plastic gaskets out of a Costco peanut cat lid. With a little effort I made it all work, and the squeak is totally gone now. McGuyver to the rescue!
All in all, I would (and probably will) order another of these. I know how to fix the problem, and perhaps it would not happen again. Great value overall for the money, but my recommendation to the company: ADD SMALL PLASTIC GASKETS FOR THE CONNECTION POINTS. Cost would be minimal, and could help to make a good product even better.
