I purchased the acclaimed, "American made", Primo XL oval grill. I purchased this table to house the grill. I guess it was too much to hope that it also was American made. It is not. Its made in China, which in itself is not a bad thing. What is bad is the fit & hardware of this table. While the material & paint on this table are nice, that is soon forgotten when putting this table together. Two types of threaded screws are used on this unit.

The table is not a very secure platform for the weight of this grill because of this. The stainless steel shelves that come with this table are not properly sized. When snugging then up to the extension arms, it was found tha
