HTML Tables not accepting width

http://www.trileafweb.com/email.html

Why will these TD tags toward the bottom not accept my width of 300px? I cannot understand it for the life of me :/

I will put width="300px" on it and then go to inspect element it says its got a width of 255px in开发者_如何学Gostead... I hate tables...

I am using tables for layout because it's going into emails as a newsletter of sorts. It's becoming a huge pain.

In the rows above you have 3 columns. This is causing the issue. You need to set one column of the 2-column rows to colspan="2"
