I don't know of all these cracking and damages. Sounds more like the installer was a bit tough with the product. I installed it and its perfect. You have to make sure that all the holes are aligned correctly before you join them. Forcing the product when not aligned will damage the product.

I bought this last week and I am impressed how well it is made. The SS table top is supported with steel rails underneath the top making the top very sturdy. The top and bottom plastic shelves are strengthened by metal bars running the length of the edges. Goes together easily with snaps, bolts and screws. This is a well thought out product. I have assembled plastic boxes, chairs, outdoor tables and this is by far the best quality of any plastic items I have assembled.

I bought this for my husband to put next to his smoker/grill and he loves it. It was very easy to put together and I was able to do it alone in less than an hour. Other than a few screws, It just snaps together. He did a lot of grilling over the weekend and he used this to prep all of the food. The storage below is great as well. Has enough room to store an extra bucket of pellets along with other items. Found a cover that fits perfectly.

I purchased this in Florida for my Canadian residence. When my husband opened it (in Canada) to put it together there were no assembly instructions and lots of pieces. When I went to the Keter website they have nothing indicating the product so therefore can't find the assembly instructions. Keter says 72 hrs. before receiving a response back.

I was so excited to use this and at a great price. As soon as my husband starting putting it together it was an absolute NIGHTMARE! This is supposed to be a "snap together" table but was far from. There were cracked pieces and none of the parts fit together properly. It took an hour to get 3 pieces together. By the 4th piece, which never lined up to connect, we had had it. Time to return this God forsaken thing. Never again! Don't waste you money!

Only had a couple weeks and have used it a ton. Everything snapped together and fit perfectly. I was amazed and surprised it went together so well.. Not sure how it broke on the other review. Not real heavy duty I admit, but good enough for the price. I think it's going to be perfect. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 just because it could be a little heavier duty. Also because the directions should indicate that you actually have a choice in what is front and what is back, and what is right and what is left. All the pieces are the same so if you want to switch it around you can.

Just bought this a few days ago. Opened box and began to assemble per instructions. Flimsy plastic components are brittle and broken. Not very good first impression. Called mfgr customer service and they are sending me replacement parts. I would not buy this again.

One side was manufactured wrong, didnt fit together, tried four different boxes.

Always quality merchandise

Perfect prep table for next to grill
