Like the original, we set the legs to open at 52 degrees and secured it with with wrench included; and the top was very stable
As others have commented, it was delivered in an almost impenetrable wooden crate (actually, not that easy to open), but I guess that's good, as it was delivered in pristine condition
Beautiful table at a great price from a company that really went beyond what it needed to do (there's a reason why my review is yet another superlative review - they stand behind their products
Also once the glass is over the legs it is very very difficult to move so make sure the legs are where you want them to be before placing the glass over them
The glass is at least 1 thick
All in all we are very pleased with this table and the vendor
