This table is a statement piece. It is stable and heavy enough to not be impacted by the wind.  Putting the table together was quite simple and took very little time. It came with extra screws and washers too, which was unexpected. The shipping box had a hole in it, but did not affect the table or parts at all. The table easily fits 6 chairs around it. The only negative comment I have is that the umbrella cap for the top of the table does not fit in the hole if you leave the inner umbrella guide inserted, so I just removed the guide and am completely satisfied. I would highly recommend this table to all.
