Cast Iron 17" Standard Height Table Base with Self-Leveling Feet

The 3 stars are not at all due to the quality because this is well made and sturdy. I gave it only 3 stars because of a design flaw. I chose the 4" post because I thought it would be sturdier. But the post is hollow, so it wouldn't matter if it was 3" or 4". The problem is that the 4" post doesn't fit on the base or top. There are ridges that are to center the post, but because it is 4 inches, the ridges don't work. They are obviously for a smaller post. The biggest problem, and one I guess I'll have to live with, is that the post just doesn't fit the base. The post hangs over in 4 places when it is centered. This leaves openings between the base and the lower opening of the post. I see this as a "doorway" for both dirt and pests. If I order another, it will be the 3" post, because it seems this base is better suited for that and since the posts are hollow, it won't make a difference in sturdiness. The self-levelling feet work nicely and the materials are top notch. Shipping was super fast.
