The attractive table was easy to assemble with good visual directions and simple tools provided. Plan about 15 minutes or less. The table arrived well packed without a ding of missing paint. It is sitting on my deck unprotected from yesterday's deluge of rain.  I ordered the light gray and am so far very happy with the purchase.  It appears to be sturdy and will hopefully last.  At this point I have only had it assembled for 2 days.
