This table went together very easily, although there are lots of screws. The screws are all labeled and that makes for much easier assembly. The table is very lightweight, but seems sturdy and looks nice. I just finished putting a coat of waterproofing on it, so hopefully it will last longer in our summer weather. This was a birthday gift for my 87-year-old dad who is still gardening all summer and requested a small table to work with his plants on. He loves it ... exactly what he had in mind. It will be easy for him to move in his garage for the winter. We're hoping that we will inherit it someday!
