So the table seems decent enough, however it cannot be used without either the 55512 or 53910 baseplates only the larger of which is sold by Amazon. This was not in the product description when I purchased it. Rockler does sell them both thankfully, but be advised that it’s gonna be a week or two to get them, and they’re not cheap. See the attached image from the instructions. Also there’s a warning on the side of the box, would be super cool if Amazon sold the required parts. Update: called Rockler directly and they were really dismissive and blamed Amazon for the product description, and advised me that I could pay extra for expedited shipping if I was unhappy with having purchased an unusable product. It’s a bummer because I really wanted to like this, and a minor description oversight seems like a simple fix, but they’re either unable or unwilling to fix it, and either way their customer service was abysmal.Udate 2: Table is a slick piece of kit once you’ve got all the parts; customer service is holding them back. Three stars.

1. Insert plate constantly gets off the table surface. Adjustments through all 4 points don't work as intuitive as you would think.2. Regardless of temperature and humidity i tried to keep consistent, the table surface got skewed a bit, and I had to tape here and there to make it work.3. It is a complete hustle to remove and install the router to this table when you need the same router to use somewhere else.4. The table It is too small.5. One of back leg screws got broke from the table top after using it about a year (average few times a month). I had to hack the MDF broken area to fix the broken leg.6. Fixed vacuum hose position right behind the router bit never did a decent clean cut. I have to move the vacuum hose the opposite side to clean the dust I'm much better way.Having this not pleasant experience I wouldn't buy this table with any price, not even with 10 bucks.Updating my review after a year usage!!!I changed from 1 star to 3 stars.I repair my router table: filled the MDF broken screw holes with a glue and matching sticks, left until it dried fully, then re-screw the leg. Now it is as strong as the other legs.I put some shims under the router plastic plate along the recessed perimeter to lift up the plate a bit, and now it is better leveled than before. Now, screws below the router table can better serve as micro adjustments.After I made few more fixes, I extend my router table life. So, about $250 investment is now secured hopefully for another year or so.
