I am sixty years old and recently widowed. I purchased this table for my adult children to have something to do when they came to visit. The beautiful table sat for about six months before my son was able to come and play on it. Hes an avid pool player and immediately said that the table was not level. Naturally, I was a little bit defensive since I made the purchase. After several months, it seemed that the table was getting worse. At this point, I pulled out the assembly instructions and all of the leftover hardware that the delivery men had left behind. We were shocked to discover that the slate leveling bolts had not been put in the table. Some of the bolts to the drawer had also been left out, as had many other pieces of hardware. This is why I was told to lift up on the right side of the drawer when opening it. Im very disappointed and unhappy. I cant afford to have it fixed at this point after having spent 5k on the table.

Get a professional assembly for this! It is very beautiful. It looks a little white washed but it works for us.
