This table is definitely sturdy. I bought it for my covered patio and it will withstand any winds that may come along. I use magnets to hold the table cloth in place. Although I thought this table was going to be more orange (which I wanted), it was definitely more on the copper side. I've gotten used to that and it is fine. The legs of the table are more like an office table, but that's fine. The table was well packed but the shippers were careful and there are dents on the edges - but no scratches.
