Assembly Tips Included
These tables aren't 'perfect' but they're not $100 either. While there are some issues with the assembly instructions and manufacturing, I think they're fixable. I attached a picture with my recommendations for putting them together. As someone who builds a lot and works in engineering, I found these tables did the job. Yes, the directions are pretty bad. The alignment notches aren't clearly marked, and some drawings aren't accurate. Check out my instructions in the picture; printing it out can help! I noticed the part K mechanism could use some adjustment, but it can be easily fixed with some care and a file. Overall, even though the thread fit isn't the best, I didn't run into any stripping issues. If you're having issues with wobbliness or crooked legs, it might be because the notches weren't lined up properly due to those poor instructions. Just try taking it apart and reassembling. And one tip: pay attention to the table's dimensions before you order, and don't expect it to behave differently than it should! I hope my assembly guide helps anyone putting this together.

Nice design but not as strong as expected
This piece looks great, but I found it doesn't really hold up for heavy use. It might be okay for home use, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything commercial.

Stylish Bistro Table for My Hotel
I was honestly impressed with the quality of this table. I got it for my hotel, and it has a nice chrome finish on the top and sides. The base feels sturdy and flips up for easy storage. Now that I see how good it is, I'm planning to get a few more!

This is a sturdy table with easy to adjust legs to make it steady on uneven surfaces. It's taller than many might want at 45 inches per my measurement. I can see why people who are used to step by step instructions with labeled parts would complain about the assembly but it's actually quite easy to put together if you read through the reviews and follow a few simple suggestions. Since there are so many complaints about the instructions, I've been meaning to write this review for some time but it's been a while so I may not be perfect in the below suggestions.1. The nut and bolt which hold the base weight to the base for shipping purposes is just that - for shipping purposes. My memory is that it has no part in the assembly so add it to your collection or throw it away after you've finished assembly. Just make sure you've finished assembly before discarding it since the parts could have changed so I assembled mine.2. Make sure you have a good 17mm (that's my memory) wrench and, if also available, socket wrench, to finish off tightening as the final step. That will give you a sturdy table.3. It has very few parts, all of which can be identified by the photos, and the diagrams show where each part (and how many) go. It just takes a little study but not that much since there are so few parts.4. The best suggestion I read was to build upside down. Securely attach the the folding bracket to the table top, then attach the support rod to the bracket, then slide on the support tubes with the middle connector, then the base, then the base weight and then attach it all together with a washer, split washer and two nuts. Note that there is a notch in the bottom tube that fits into a slot in the base that keeps it from rotating. Securely attaching the folding bracket to the table top and then the two nuts to the bottom weight gives a sturdy table. This is a really good place to use a socket wrench to make it quite tight.5. Note that the middle support rods are not totally screwed together or into the folding bracket or there won't be enough threads left to attach the bottom weight. I didn't realize that until the end of my first time through and had to remove the bottom legs and middle tubes to lengthen the support rods. That took all of an extra couple of minutes. As noted, the table is taller than many might want (45 inches per my measurement) and requires some pretty good engineering skills and the right tools to shorten. We ultimately decided it was too tall and, at the risk of the purchase price, I shortened it five inches, which made it a perfect height for us. I would not recommend doing that unless you're really good at that sort of thing and have the right tools. Even with that, I got lucky and it worked out. The process included (i) removing half of the folding bracket to use as a large washer (the support tubes don't fit flush against the table top so I used a portion of the folding bracket for that purpose), (ii) drilling out the folding bracket so the support rod could screw directly to the table top and (iii) shortening both the support rod and support tubes. Again, I don't recommend trying this. If a 45 inch tall table is too tall for you, I suggest not buying this table. If that height works for you, then this is a great table for the price.
