Avoid table surface scratches easily

I've only had this table for 1 month and the metal weld at the table base/ leg is already broken. I've had the exact same table in another room for years, which is why I bought a second one recently. VERY disappointed that after one month this table is broken- no bolt will fix it, no easy repair, and it is too late to return or replace.

It works! For the price I’m okay with this purchase. Re-doing my living room and this will go great with the sectional that I ordered. Easy to assemble, which is what I like most. Hopefully it holds up for a while.

Had to cover it with black marble contact paper, the original white color kinda washed out once I put down my new area rug. Definitely recommend

After I assembled it found out it is damaged
