We just received ours and the base is not quite square, so the board is wedged VERY tightly in there.... is this the norm for the set?

I would say this isn't normal as ours is not like this the board comes out easily

Mine isn't square either, but fits one way. Try rotating 90 degrees, or sanding edges of the board so it's not so tight.

ours isn't square either meaning you can't put it in any way it only fits right in one direction we just turned it till it fit right but it does fit for us

I bought this set for my 44 yr old son, so I asked him your question. Hus recomendation was to return the chess set.He said this was definately not the norm. It should be perfectly square.

I don't have that problem. However, the board is disappointing because it is smaller than I thought it should be relative to the size of the figures.

my set closes pretty tightly, just held one up side down and shook it pretty hard. Didn't move a notch.

My guess is that is has to do with this not being a fine piece of furniture. And your assembly technique. Loosen the screws that hold the shelves, as well as the bracing. When things are still together, but you can move them around a little, put it where it needs to go. Like the kitchen. Now that it is on your level, or maybe not, surface, tighten everything back together. This should, in theory, adjust for your maybe not level floor, or the minor differences in length of the wood. I know my floor is really bad, and this helped.

Ours doesn't do that. It actually worked really well. When we needed to sand in between boards, we tilted it sideways, but that's the only time we only used the edges.

Mine is perfect.! It may not be leveled or some of the srckoos are not tightned all the way.

Thanks for the heads-up. I previously had a table with a similar pedestal footprint base, so am not used to leaning on the table top. Love to hear what others say.

You're not doing anything wrong. Some of them come uneven. I need to prop one leg up with a book to keep it level. I really should have returned it, but it seemed too much trouble to do that.

I have mine in a horizontal position and believe that it does function as expected. Be careful not to over-tighten it during installation. I had done so and notice a slight bow to the board. Loosening alleviated the issue.

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

not really- but I have mine in a corner and it looks OK. Square bottom, not triangular.

Honestly I do not know if it's a defect. I liked the board so much form the beginning that I decided to keep it, curved or not, and with time it i has actually become steadier. It's really a great board and if you treat it right, using some special oil once in a while it will keep looking as beautiful as when you unwrapped it!I hope this is helpful to you. Aloha from Britt

Not sure, ours is square. I think it would you'll just have to put them closer together .

On my unit, the legs are part of long frames that go the entire length of the piece. They don't flare out, are flush with the edge all the way down the unit. They are angled on the insides at the bottom, which may contribute to why they may look like they flare in the picture. If this unit comes exactly like mine, 2 units would be flush up against each other beautifully. Even the top board is flush with the sides. Good luck!

Yes, our base boards are about 3/4 in, so no problem. Very easy to set up, looks crooked at first but straighten out while making adjustments. :)

??? Its the best big board outthere.I dont understand your question .It is like all boogie boards ,you should be more concerned about the shapeand size.

Hi,I had the same issue. I trimmed off the overhang on both sides which made it a total width of 45 3/4 inches.That is a narrow as the top board can be trimmed...

Are you sure you have the right pieces in the right order? I did not experience any difficulty stabiling my stand. perhaps you could try putting the base together first, making sure it's secure,then adding top/higher pieces? Am sorry, this prob isn't much help, but mine was fine.....
