Larger pole in the middle that's supposed to stabilize the table comes in three sections whose ends do not match one another nor interlock so when you attempt to screw them together, they end up buckling at an angle and not only look jangy / disjointed at the seams but also fail to support the table, which is wobbly. Connections between the larger middle pole were so off that I had to omit one of them on the underside, making the shoddy appearance look even worse. Will be requesting a refund for the poorly designed & faulty product.
