Luckily they have just hairline cracks.

Despite being very careful with the assembly (thanks to customers' reviews and comments) I still managed to get two hairline cracks where the legs attach to the base, but nothing serious or noticeable

I also used a little wood glue on each pillar so the hairline crack is no big deal

I've got three hairline cracks in the wood now but, so far, they're still holding together

I still got a hairline crack on one of the pillars

These foot the bill price was great construction is fine please be carefully when screwing in the top plate and the base make sure you take care to screw the screws in straight and don't over tighten as it may crack

well as the primary stands on view for our home theater system
