I assembled according to instructions, but it looks warped, or torqued. Anyone have a problem with it not sitting flush?

Yes..especially once the netting is attached. Mine is easily pushed into proper shape and generally stays that way while in use, however, particularly if it is staked down. It is an annoyance more than anything and I haven't noticed it affecting the performance.

Just a little bit. I just manipulated the side poles a little bit until it sat down as flush as possible. I also put a sand bag down on the back brace to hold it down and make it more sturdy.

It's suppose to have that wave shape so as long as you followed instructions you are fine. You will realize that the strange shape is designed to enhance and increase the return velocity of the ball. It helps to leaan the top portion of the bar against a solid object like a fence and spike down the lower portion.

Yeah. I found it was a little wonky as well, but you can shift it with two hands on each side bar without doing any damage. In fact, you'll find after using it for a bit that you may need to readjust it as well.

Ours sits pretty flat, but the support bar should have some play so you can adjust and get the net flat. We also place a weight or brick on the back bar which provides extra stability.

I did experience this when I first put it together. I noticed it happened when I was positioned a bit too forward on the seat. I doesn't seem to to do it anymore, so I figure it was a quirk that happened when it was first put together.

Mine hasn't. It's quite sturdy. I can't see how it would warp. I'm very happy with mine.

Chris, the wheels screw into the bottom of each leg. I just took a quick look and I'm not sure the bottom of the legs are flush if you take off the wheels. When putting it together, I remember that before putting the wheels on there was a slight unevenness, but once the wheels were on , it was less pronounced and not noticeable. I wonder if without the wheels if that would be the case. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer.

My husband put it together, so I asked him. He said he had a problem with it also and discovered he had it backwards. He put the legs together first. If you followed directions and it is not working, he said take it apart and turn it over. Went together easily after that. Hope this helps.

I have the same issue. How did you contact the technician? Was his help free? I really don't want to send mine back after taking hours assembling it.

I am also frustrated with this design. I haven't begun looking yet, but my plan is to go to the manufacturer's website & look at schematics for something with straight parts that actually line up when I try to assemble/reassemble it. I will post findings on Amazon. Sorry I can't be of more help at this time.

I did not have any problems putting this item together. It screwed in easily and is very sturdy. You must have received a defective product.

Yes, ours leaned back but I just adjusted it slightly (heard a little "pop") and now it's sitting straight and swivels nicely. I think maybe we didn't get the screws properly threaded in the stand initially.

Yes, this wasn't easy to put together. Had to use some force to put wheel assembly on. Try to straighten out as much as possible try again. If you bent the front forks might have to send back.

Well, I cannot say whether it was a manufacturing error or not. Yes, there is this gap between the back bulging legs of the table and the wall, causing the gap. When assembled, since I liked it so much I have lived with the gap! However, a console table should fit flush, I agree.

Mine was pretty smelly too...and then it completely fell apart after a week so I tried to get a refund. Amazon only gave me 20% since I couldn't return the item (as you know, it's big and heavy and once it's assembled it's kind of tough to put it back in the box). So...if yours still isn't assembled I'd advise returning it before you're stuck with a bad product.

It's been long enough now that I don't remember if I had to force this or not, but I don't remember having to do that. I remember mine assembling very easily. Hopefully you've got it working okay by now. Good luck!

I would agree with the other posters. Send it back and get another, that has to be a fluke. Mine is solid as a rock. I have been very happy with it.

We assembled it and it is tilted.. may be we followed incorrect steps.. Also color is black, the picture has a different color.

I had the same issue. Eventually the assembly fell apart and I ended up returning it. Sorry couldn't say anything positive here!

You may have a defective piece. Ours lined up perfect. I would contact the seller.
