This table is perfect for my patio! It comes flat packed and was super easy to put together. The legs are already attached to the table, using a hinge. All you need to do is unfold them, add a couple screws, and attach the support bar. Total un-boxing and assembly time took <15 minutes. It looks just like the photo. The wood is real, although it looks a bit fake at first, due to the treatment that is applied to the wood; however, it has thankfully started to lose the glossiness/plastic look after being exposed to the elements.
