Brass wood insert
Would Not RecommendNo suggested drill size given on the packaging. The screw driver prongs broke off trying to screw the insert into the wood, and there was very little pressure.
Brass Insert Nut
Would RecommendThese have a small thread and go into hardwood very easily. I had no trouble installing them and the are holding really firm. I suggest putting a dab of glue just to help hold them snug in the workplace.

2 soft’
Would RecommendBought four. Two ended up working okay. Two ended up cracking at the top as I was screening them in.

Since they were deep enough, I didn’t take them out and risk damaging the table top. I then screwed the bolt on and they seem to be holding well enough.

Fail during installation.
Would Not RecommendExtremely brittle material. They all fractured; the material crumbled during the insertion. The clearance hole was the proper size. The screwdriver properly fit into the slot. Since these are not going to be visible, get the ones that are installed with a hex wrench.
