A solid purchase that requires patience to assemble

First of all, the table is well assembled! However, it was a bit difficult to get to this point. I'll break down my review by shipping, assembly, and features. **Shipping** The only reason I thought to elaborate on this was because I saw in some other reviews that people complained about damaged/poor packaging, some with damage and some without. to the actual product. My box arrived in good condition with no damage to the packaging or table parts so the myth is dispelled! . At least for me. **Assembly** Another detail I mentioned in other reviews was how easy it was to assemble. I've seen mentions of 30-45 minutes in a few reviews but I'm calling WRONG on every count! Good. I *could* see this being the case if it weren't for a couple of issues I've encountered. The second step of the instructions was to screw the support rod into the leg - I was very early in the build process. The second screen I tried to screw in wouldn't screw in. After trying for a while, I illuminated the hole and noticed that everything looked warped. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the thread in the hole was badly clogged. I ended up turning the screw, almost certain I had cut the thread and damaged the screw or hole. I had to make a few turns until it stopped, unscrew it, clean the threads on the screw and tighten it a bit. I repeated this process until the screw was fully seated. If I had been less patient/persistent or less attentive and understanding of the process of screw and hole mating, I would have sent this thing back. I eventually got over it, but the second screw I tried was disappointing. I'm not sure if it's the manufacturer's fault I'd say, but it did affect my build score. The second hurdle I encountered was aligning the hole when installing the wood pieces of the countertop onto the frame. Of course, I'm someone who likes to take things apart and put them back together, so I know pro tips when it comes to things like this: DO NOT TIGHTEN EVERYTHING BEFORE ALL THE BOLTS IN THE HOLES HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. There were a few other reviews that said the screw holes didn't line up, and a few of them left screws here or there. I'm sure their table works fine but it pissed me off a little lol. I had to slightly screw in the screws for each part of the tabletop, adjust the position of the tabletop, and then tighten everything. Take your time, be patient, keep everything loose until you've lightly tightened the threads of each screw. Luckily for me the instructions were how I needed the long side on the left and the shorter side on the right so I can't comment on how difficult it would be to switch setups, but the assembly is pretty easy and I think most could understand. Quick comment: I saw another photo of a broken corner piece ripped out of a carved panel of wood. . I recommend being careful how tight you are tightening your wooden knobs when screwing them in, as over-tightening can loosen the threads and eventually cause problems. my desktop now that I'm working from home and using my Xbox to work on the side. I currently have two monitors connected to my laptop for work (left, large table) and my gaming monitor on the other side (right, small table). My personal laptop is in the center corner for now, but I just ordered a monitor stand to fit underneath, so it will soon be to the right under my gaming monitor. This also helps as the table is a bit low to put the monitor on and I have to look down a bit. I'm not tall, but I have a full torso, so maybe my odd shape is the issue here. As I type this, the monitor to my left (the leftmost monitor in the image) moves and catches my eye, although the table seems stable. I'll play around with the adjustable feet on the bottom to see if I can fix it. Can't say I blame the product itself, so no conclusions. EDIT: After typing this I twisted my leg and the monitor is still shaking. Upon further inspection, it turned out that it was the monitor, not the table. Another feature is that this table is quite flat. After putting my monitors and laptops on the table there is enough room for the mouse and keyboard, but after that there isn't much room left as depth. My table right in front was a big table so maybe I'm not aware of how big a normal table is but I think it's still pretty small regardless of my last table. However, it is still doable. All in all, this is a good table. To be completely honest I think the price is good but a bit overpriced given its simplicity but not high enough to feel like I'm paying a bit too much lol. I think once I have a monitor stand and tidy up the messy corner my laptop is currently in I will be very happy with it. Also, I can get the cabinet under the floor, but I also have to consider the depth of the cabinet due to the depth of the table. Hope this helped someone!

Pros
