Take it back and hit the thrift store to find a dining table for a fraction of the cost. With your tool skills you can tighten loose legs.
Last summer my kids and I were driving across town when we spotted what looked to be a dining table on the curb. When we turned around the block there was a man with a pick up truck checking it out but couldn't lift it on his own. We were stopped about 1/2 way down the block watching him. I joked with my 13 year old son (who is a all of 85 lbs)to jump out of the van run down there, jump on the table and lick it to claim it. Before I could retract my words he jumped out the van ran past the man getting into his truck dove onto the table and began hugging it.I laughed so hard as the man bewildered at our playful scene drove away in defeat. We lugged it home and found a spot originally for the boys to work on baseball cards the claimed it for sewing. Great table fantastic price. A table is what you make it.
