This table was easy to put together and looks very nice. I put it together by myself and am not very handy at all. For the price, I'm very impressed with how heavy the furniture is. We can get high winds so having something substantial was important. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is we have not had time to see how the beautiful black finish will wear over time. My thought though is that it can always be painted down the road if needed. Great value for the money and this same set was more on other sights; I wasn't able to find anything of similar quality near this price.
