I'M MILDLY DISAPPOINTED

An item this heavy needs proper packing, because it's going to get rough treatment during shipping. Mine arrived with one bent corner on the backsplash, and the legs loose and rolling around inside the box. That might have caused the small ding in the table surface, which already shows signs of rust. We put something on it to prevent water from beading there and have crossed our fingers. We bought it to use outside in a semi-protected area, and keep it covered when not in use. The adjustable shelf is handy. It has a "front" and back, so if you're particular, be sure to look for the brand name and put it where you want it. It is a good height for working under normal conditions (food prep, etc.). However, our countertop grill is 8" tall, making the surface a little high for true comfort. The legs would be fairly easy to shorten with a metal cutting blade and a lot of elbow grease, but it would need to be done BEFORE assembly. Cut the TOPS of the legs, which fit into sleeves on the table top. Then assemble the shelf, and the adjustable feet can be leveled as necessary once you get it in place. Also, if you have a mind to put locking casters on the table, the additional height should be taken into account before assembling the table, if you want a particular working height.
