This table set is beautiful and solid. I put this together myself for an afternoon project and was very pleased how detailed the instructions were and easy to follow. It makes my day to pull the cover off it in the morning and enjoy the sun raising, family gatherings and when my daughter needs time in the sun while studying it is suitable. This table has more our dinner table through the seasons than just a outdoor picnic table. It's appealing and our central gathering point for the family.
