That table will collapse easily with the slightest bit of lateral or diagonal stress. You do not have enough strength to tighten those crappy plastic screws enough to hold those legs. And sort of a sheer (lean against it, push it, slide it) and those legs are going to twist and pop right off. Complete waste of money and time.
The person who commented above me has a point, BUT they do say on their website that they recommend that the Floyd Leg be used mainly for light use tables. That being said, I emailed them yesterday asking if they had any plans to release a heavy use model since I would like to use these for a dining table for my back porch and they confirmed that a heavy use model would be out at the end of September. Can’t wait to check it out. They are a bit pricey, but if you don’t spend a ton of money on the actual table top, I think the cost balances out.
