Solid Wood Rectangle 2 Students Activity Table

This table is a mixed bag. I needed this particular size (24"x36"x30" tall) to fit a space I had, and I wanted a hardwood top, and that's what I got, and overall, it's a nice table. It arrived fine, FedEx always does a nice job, and no damage to the carton or the wood pieces inside, however, the bag containing the hardware was only secured with a single piece of tape which had come loose during shipping and the parts were scattered throughout the box. Fortunately, there were no missing pieces, and no scratches or damage to the top, which was well protected. The top is quite nice and well finished, but the edges of the legs were quite rough and even splintery in places, requiring me to use sandpaper before assembly, and I was a bit put off when looking at the bottom of the top piece of wood to notice stamped metal plates being used as attachment points for the legs, along with a HUGE sticker saying how unstable the table was, and not to move it without lifting, and do not tip on two legs, do not lean on it, etc, making me wonder how sturdy the table really is, arrrrgh. Then the actual assembly process, which should have taken 20 minutes (I've assembled similar tables in 15-20 minutes), took me well over an hour because the nuts used were extremely difficult to screw on, and those metal plates present some seriously sharp edges that I had to tape over, making me wonder why they would use sharp metal on a desk for students? However, once it's put together, it actually seems reasonably sturdy, and looks nice in my room. I guess I'm just extremely picky, but with a only minor changes, thicker legs (and bolts) and using wood corner blocks instead of stamped metal for attaching the legs, this table would be a real winner. As it is, it's perfectly fine for my purposes, and I would probably purchase it again, but I'm not sure this would be suitable for a classroom or small children.

Nice solid table. The only one that would fit the space I have.

The table is beautiful. The problem is that the legs have a problem in their attachment. It looks like there’s a sleeve that goes through the leg and they bolt goes inside the sleeve. The problem is the whole in the leg is too small for the sleeve, it would have to be drilled out.

Very sturdy. Suggest you use your own tools to put together.

The holes on the legs did align well at all with the brackets to attach them to the table top. Very disappointing. I figured out a work around, but I should have not had to do this. This could be my last purchase from Wayfair.
