I searched online and in stores for weeks trying to decide what type of picnic table would work best for our needs and this table met all of my criteria. The price was competitive in comparison with other similar products on the market, the neutral color made it easy to match with my other outside decor, it's sturdy enough to hold 6 people but also compacts easily for off season storage, the legs are shaped so that the metal doesn't sink into the ground or scratch up the deck, and the center hole for the umbrella insert was ideal.
