Review on Flash Furniture Aluminum Indoor Outdoor Folding by Mari Hall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Attention assembly! There is a problem.

Very durable in the end, looks nice and solid, with a pretty solid construction. We're not talking high quality here - reliable enough and pretty enough to attend an art gallery opening reception: so I'd say it's pretty good. But every buyer should pay attention to a few points when assembling. I was fortunate that a reviewer suggested placing the countertop towards the floor and building from there (towards the base and legs). If you're moderately confident that you can solve the puzzle, you're in good shape. Because the route description is only a rather imprecise "exploded drawing". The most important thing, which is not shown at all in the drawing, is the key. I had to disassemble all four of our tables when on the last one I found a small nick in one end of a section of two pipes joined by a ring. You need to make sure the notch lines up with the bulge molded into either the top or bottom plate - I don't have tables here so can't tell exactly which end - just look closely at that, or yours Table becomes crooked and wobbly no matter how tightly you attach it. Flatten it and it will become firm. The same person who had the useful idea of working with the table upside down also mentioned "hold the latch in the latch assembly". I think that bolt is really ejected; it's just a way to safely transport the complete table. Also, use a real wrench or socket: the included "wrench" will barely provide the torque you need to keep the table stable. And will give you scratched knuckles in the process. I'll get my skin back on my own in a week. Another point is that you will have a few pucks left. Just make sure the lock washer is always closest to the nut, then the washer, and then the part it attaches to. rod at both ends. My advice: make sure it fits snugly on the end of the nut on the inside of the locking mechanism. Killing it a few threads down doesn't close it properly. Too short and other problems progress. In any case it was a very good table for the price! I think the low price discouraged them from hiring a good guide writer.
