SUPER cute but the hardware is terrible

SUPER cute! I bought them to dance with the 4th to 6th graders, I was afraid they were too small but actually they are just right. The Allen key that came with it doesn't fit the screws that tightly, so I had to adjust the drill and bit to get some of the screws all the way in. The screws are also easy to remove. I bought replacement screws from a hardware store that fixed the problem. When assembled, it's strong but not entirely flat. I need to add some height to one of the table legs to keep it from wobbling. The lid doesn't close all the way, but I like that as it protects my fingers from accidentally pinching. Otherwise love it. LOVE the retro look and storage space inside. It's also light enough to move around but not too easy to tip over. Update: I've ordered two more for the procedure mentioned and half the hardware for those two is junk too. I recommend going to the hardware store and getting #14 screws. I used #14 1-3/4" screws, but you could probably get by with #14 1-1/2" if needed. The shorter screws that came with the table (which attach the legs to the table section) worked great.

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons
  • Some flaws
