Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We've purchased a number of Coaster furniture items from Amazon over the past couple of years. This is the first one that has warranted a negative review. The table was very well packaged, as is standard for Coaster products, so there was no shipping damage. However, three of the legs had significant cracks, the result of being made and finished while the wood was still too wet or green. It was clear that the cracks developed after the legs were finished because there is no stain or lacquer in the cracks. Further, the metal screws that are inserted into the legs so they can be screwed into the table are very rusted. Further evidence that the wood was not properly dried before being turned and finished. In addition, joints in the table have glue showing. The glue has shrunk causing unfinished wood to show at the joints. This table was inexpensive compared to really fine furniture so I didn't expect super-high quality. But I did notice that this item did not measure up to the really nice things we've bought before under the Coaster name.
