Steel construction is usually very tough, but this had one dent in the base, which looks like it occurred in manufacturing (see pic). Despite that the components were sturdy and its very easy to assemble. However, if youre assembling this alone, as I was, assemble the base and table top separately, and then place the base on the table underside. I found this an easier way to handle the legs. Note the reminders to only tighten 80, then tighten down when everything is in place. A rubber mallet or hammer may be needed for the brackets you use in the two table top sections. It helps set them in place for screwing them in securely. Recommended.

This is a great patio dining table! Perfect for a family of five. Super easy to assemble. Literally took about 15 minutes feom start to finish. Sturdy metal. A place in the center for an umbrella to fit. I'm so excited to spend some nice autumn evenings having dinner around this table.

Super cute and simple patio table! It was really easy to put together, lightweight, and looks great on our patio. The table top was 2 separate pieces but seems sturdy. Perfect size for four chairs, maybe five.

Really awesome table! Our umbrella stand ended up fitting perfectly inside and has made for a great place for our family to hang out at in the evenings. It's sturdy and weather proof and the color looks natural and blends in with the rest of our patio.

The table arrived in a single box consisting of several pieces to assemble. Two halves are assembled first using four plates attached by two bolts each. 3 supporting legs and a center ring finish off the assembly. Everything lined up appropriately, leading to a quick and easy experience. The table allows water drainage, and has a center hole for an optional umbrella. Various center rings are supplied to account for various umbrella thickness. If an umbrella isn't in the cards, a center plug is included to finish off the table top. It's a nice addition to my patio. See my attached photos.
