Well the pedestal on our kitchen table peeled apart like a ripe grape only thing holding it to the table top was the long threaded rod. Nothing wrong with the wood but the cheap staples used to hold these things together do not hold up to the "rolling earthquake" we experience driving down the road.When we turned the table over to disassemble it for repair we found other "loose and pulling apart things on the under side of the table.The table top would have separated from the pedestal in due time.Don't know what the RV manufactures have against screws but rebuilding the pedestal with screws will hold it together forever.
