We have a modern house and needed a new table for our deck. This table provides a cool combination of rustic and modern and looks great against our house. It's sturdy and comfortable. My teenage daughter was able to assemble the benches on her own and the table with the help of my husband (it's heavy!) so it's not too complicated. It comfortably seats six and if you're just doing drinks eight people could snuggle up. We were also pleased with how quickly it shipped. Thanks, AllModern!
