I was truly amazed with the quality of this simple peice of outdoor furniture.  For years I have bought resin tables at the box stores when it was necessary and they all were filmsy but doable. I needed another table this year so I thought I would see what was available on the web. Yes, I did pay more money for this table but it was well worth it.  The stability of this one is great and I do anticipate this one to last so much longer than any of the box store ones I have had.
