Great black finish and structurally strong. I've purchased a few black-metal patio tables over the years. This one is a great value for the money. Looks inviting! A few friends have asked where I sourced it. Make sure to have a level table by doing this: 1) LIGHTLY hand-tighten the legs to the tabletop. 2) FULLY tighten the subframe to the legs. 3) Go back and finish tightening the legs to the tabletop. Assembly took me ~30 minutes with a rum and coke ;)
