The poles had the tiniest dent on the threading end

We currently have it so low that we were able to remove the top extension poles.

Vertical poles are hollow, and can be used to feed cable from the TV to the floor, but do not have exit holes for the table height.

However, one of the base plates was not threaded and one of the parts would not fit over the top pole

Overall, I would buy it again, but I would pray the poles weren't damaged, or I'd have to send it back.

Sounds like this is a recurring problem--received a defective pole that was dented so am unable to connect the poles together

I tried to assemble this TV stand but it came with a defective pole that I could not connect it with another pole.
