When the glass top of our patio table shattered, we saw quickly that replacing the top didn't make a lot of sense, economically or logistically. 
This table has proven to be a great compromise.
It's solid and attractive -- probably more attractive than you'd think by just looking at the photo. The black finish pretty much goes with whatever color chairs and umbrella you may already have. 
 It requires some assembly, but it was easy to put together in about 30 minutes.
