I ordered a discounted returned item.  The instructions were not in the box that was sent, but the table was rather easy to put together and I was able to do it without the instructions.  For the table and bench legs small hinges were included.  These were either broken and they are flimsy.  However, they do not add to the support of the legs and were not required.

Table looks as the pictures showed.  The table is sturdy.  Because it is a recent purchase, I do no know how it will take outdoor use.
