I am so happy I found this table, it works perfect on the patio. It is a wooden table (we finished it with Polyurethane so that it can withstand the windy weather and piercing sun). The color is the same as the picture, it looks expensive,  folds which make it easy for storage, has a hole for an umbrella, does not need the weight for the umbrella, it comes in different sizes (we purchased the 48 inch and the large chairs fit perfectly underneath) My husband was able to put it together within minutes, without any help.
