Though time consuming, overall the table was generally easy to assemble, and now that it's together seems sturdy and plays as expected. Concerned about weak leg integrity reviews, I added some L-brackets to hopefully reinforce them. One leg was minorly damaged in shipping, but I was able to glue and clamp the particle board pieces back into place. I do think the company needs to revisit the installation of the ball catch/returns. It took some patience and ingenuity to actually get them into place. It's fun and a nice distraction during these strange times.
