There are several customers that say the holes do not meet up for assembly. Are these first quality or seconds?

Our theater had no alignment issues and assembled quickly and perfectly. First quality. Still playfully going strong!

I didn't have any assembly issues. Everything lined up. The banner at the top is loose and one of the sides is loose as well but everything is still holding together.

I did not have any alignment issues at all, it went together perfectly. Ours is first quality.

We did not have any trouble with setting up our puppet show. Ours was definitely first quality.

The top hole is oval (Don't remember if the bottom one is, as I installed them a few months ago), so an alignment will be needed after installation.

The door jig worker really well for me, so you must be having an issue that I did not encounter. The holes on my jig are spaced at 1/4" intervals (assuming we're referring to the same holes).

I had a similar problem. The pegs fit some of the holes but not all. So I have a hole problem. I plan to use a sanding drum slightly smaller than the hole to enlarge the small holes. This shows poor quality control on Black and Decker's part.

I don't remember. But I would tell you these are not very good.. The holes were off center or completely missing. I chose these because they were among the cheapest I could find, so I wasn't upset about the low quality. Just a heads up.

I drilled holes in the one I purchased. Was not too tough to drill through at all.

Hi David, The holes are 4 7/8" apart all 4 holes & 6 7/8" on the cross/diagonal. The holes are casted as part of the base plate casting. They are not drilled/machined. I state this as there may be a rough edge at the top of the holes. I used a 1/2" drill bit to deburr edge,thus using 1/2" diameter bolts to mount.

Negative. The holes are pre drilled. They also come with rubber stoppers that you can place in the holes if you do not use them.

Well they shouldn't be loose when you first put it together or at least mine wasn't. make sure that the washer that is curved or warped to fit the bar is flush against the bar. those two legs loosen a little on mine because i stand on them when stepping up to the dip bars. i've tightened them when they get loose and they will last 2 or 3 sessions before tightening again. hope this helps.

Mine does not have the holes. Sorry you have that. I would go ahead and return the second and try one more time. Worth it! I just love mine.

Hi -sorry you're having trouble. We did have trouble at first with the holes not lining up. My advice is do what we did. We took photos of the problem areas and the issues in action. Call the manufacturer and let them know. They may ask for the photos, send them with details and if needed, they will replace the defective parts. It may be inconvenient, but it's well worth the wait. We were successful once the defective pieces were replaced and are extremely happy with our Island. Best of luck!

I don't believe that they do. I purchased this item for my daughter. I did assemble it for her, but I don't recall any other holes.

I don't know that their quality control is the best. They worked in mine, but the second batch didn't stay as well. I could get them to stay wrapping them with a little plumbers tape. Not sure I'll get them again, or will find another company.

I have no idea. The have blocked the picture of the holes, so there is no way to tell. I guess they don't want to sell them very bad. Sorry I couldn't help.

In the batches I received, the holes were not perfectly aligned for 120mm screw holes.

You can use one hole and make one new one. The holes are wider apart and will not line up. The 80's are garbage the 90's are certainly worth the investment. Have had one set I first purchaed over 4 years ago and they have not failed.

If in fact the holes are drilled in the wrong places, I would return it. But they might not be. Make sure.
