I looked at an Ott light at JoAnns the other day that was deeply reduced. They told me there was nothing wrong with it, just a return with a beat up box. They said it's not returnable so I assembled in the store and the neck of the lamp was broken. Why would they try to sell something like that?

Items go on and off sale all the time and never because they are damaged or seconds. When things are damaged they sell at 75% off so if you can make it work I would ask for the additional discount. And yes nothing, even at expensive stores, is made as well as it used to be.

I just bought that table last Friday on sale with the additional 25% off and it is WONDERFUL! I took it right home and put it together myself in about 30 minutes. Everything matched up perfectly, no scratches, no problems at all. I couldn't believe how good the quality was especially for the price I paid. And the height is great and will really pay off when I am cutting material.

I just bought this last week. The only thing when putting the hinges on is that you have to only screw them in part ways and once they are all in then tighten them up. The only thing that I did wrong was put the wheels on wrong. This only matters if it's folded down; something that I'll have to fix; eventually. I would take it back due to the gouge if nothing else. I almost took mine back but I'm going to wait until this weekend to try and cut on it. I'm only 5' and it looks like it may be too tall for me to cut on; we'll see. This table did get good reviews but like everything else there are lemons. I paid 69 for mine so that was good. How did you get the extra 25% off? I thought if it was on sale they wouldn't do any extra discounts.

Just because it was on sale is no reason to accept a used or defective product. If it was clearly stated that that was why it was on sale that is different. I'd just take it back and they will either give you another one or refund your money. If you get another one, I'd have the clerks unbox it there and check the surfaces. I've had to do that with some Ikea stuff as well. It's a pain, but making two and three trips is also.

My table is horrible and I'm thinking of loading it into the car today, assembled, and taking it back. there was also a gouge in the top. Maybe that is why they were on sale...
Keep you fingers crossed for me!!!! :(
