You bring up an interesting point on the bolts . If the product comes from China , in my mind , all hardware is suspect . A while back , we had a problem during assembly breaking some 1/4" bolts at only 10 ft/lbs torque ..... and not just one or two . The supplier had changed to an "offshore source " without telling us and all 1500 bolts were bad . Seems the carbon content was way off and they were too brittle .
Just my $.02 worth , but if I had any Chinese hardware ...... I wouldn`t . It would be gone in a heartbeat .
