Title: Wood Splits Every Time Even With Pre-Drilling !!
Product review: The first one I assembled split badly at every position when I screwed in the screws. And I have a lot of carpentry experience. I screwed the screws slowly and with considerable care using only a screwdriver. And then the vertical pieces split, one of them badly. I will upload a photo later. So, I drilled out the second stand with 1/8 inch drill bit thinking that would take care of things. Wrong! It still split all but one screw location, only not nearly as bad. I am going to write to the company and see if they will send me some new posts. I didn't like drilling to the next size holes because the screws don't always tighten. But they tightened a lot better than the split ones! To say the least, I am not happy with the materials -- especially for this price. This should not happen. For just a few pieces of wood, they sure charge a lot of money -- especially when the wood splits so easily.
