At this price point, it's hard to expect heavy gauge construction and tight quality control. And there's differences in how manufacturers try to bridge the gap. The table top is reinforced by a sheet of MDF mounted underneath the stainless. This is actually a nice touch that prevents buckling of the surface. The leg assembly method is relatively novel, making it a little less intuitive, and the instructions that come with are not particularly good. Each leg consists of two tubes which need to be friction mated. It's important to slide the mounting bracket BEFORE mating them, and in the right direction. In my case, the fit on one pair of legs was so tight, I couldn't get them back apart to get the mounting bracket on properly. I made it work, but did present a bit of a problem. Other thing I'm less excited about is that the legs are very thin walled, and seem to be chrome plated rather than polished stainless. Again, these things are nitpicks considering how low cost this table is, but still worth noting.
