I used to think my father was a bigot for complaining about all of the "junk made in China nowadays." This table is the epitomizes his complaints and convinces me to make everything myself or live in a one room apartment with no belongings what so ever. First, the instructions and diagrams are practically useless and do not correspond to each other or the included hardware or furniture pieces. If I wasn't a seasoned furniture assembler/builder, I would have been lost. For instance, the instructions call for a 9/16" and a 7/16" wrench, but none of the bolts included have either size head, they are 3/4" and 13/32". Yeah, 13/32", I couldn't believe it either. Two holes that are supposed to be in the frame are missing and the assembly that is obviously required is completely different from what is described. There are 2 screws and washers left that go nowhere, they aren't listed in the instructions and they aren't duplicates, and they wouldn't even work for the missing holes because they aren't long enough, they are just superfluous. I wish that would explain why the table wobbles so much, but sadly, it's just a massive waste of money that isn't worth the effort to burn in effigy of poor craftsmanship and lackadaisical "work" ethic. Secondly, the description says that the maximum height is 28, but it's over an inch short of that at 26-3/4." I know its not major, but obviously the manufacturer has never used the Imperial measurement system even though they list a NY state corporate address. Thirdly, all of the metal and faux wood have major scratches or blemishes. Fourth, the hardware supplied is the cheapest metal, the screw heads were practically stripped before getting them 1/2 way in. Fifth, the height adjustment mechanism is about as smooth as a sip of kerosene. Sixth, I already mentioned it wobbles like crazy while lamenting the sloppy instructions. In fact, I think it wobbles less with the wheels unlocked than in the locked position. Seventh, it's way too expensive to be this poor of quality. I can't decide if it's worth taking apart and shipping back or if I'm going to have to eat the $100 bucks. I am just so disappointed in everything available to the mass market. Even things sold as "professional" grade are such junk, designed by morons, manufactured by idiots, and marketed by geniuses, and purchased by the gullible. I don't actually need the table for medical reasons, I'm just trying to catch up on paper work while catching up on some bad tv while cuddling with the other half. I don't trust that its sturdy enough to hold my 3 pound laptop even though it's supposedly rated for 50 pounds. It certainly won't support someone trying to sign a "do not resuscitate" order, which, after having lost all my faith in humankind after purchasing this piece of junk, I think I'm going to drink myself into a coma.
