I ordered a Norden gateleg table, the birch option. The good points: 1) The material itself was impressive; it claimed to be solid birch, and it certainly seemed much more solid and heavy than any plywood or fiberboard I've worked with. 2) The instructions were fairly clear, though not without some uncertain spots. 3) The overall design seems good. The bad point: 1) Assembly was a nightmare. It comes with 42 short machine screws, and almost none of the pre-drilled holes could accommodate more than half of the screw. As a result, the folding leaves are unstable and the table seems generally unsafe to use. I'm giving 2 stars because of the good points cited above and the possibility that this was an unusual manufacturing defect. However, given that they don't allow product reviews on the US site, I'm guessing they know this is status quo.
