Beautiful and sturdy! A side table is an overlooked necessity when chilling on the porch. This one is perfect! The top surface is surprisingly larger than most end tables, and it was heavier and more substantial than I expected- ALL a plus!! The wood is smooth and its natural grain peeks through the stain. I ordered the “dark” finish and wouldn’t really classify it as such; it’s really a nice two-tone with both dark and light wood tones. It arrived partially assembled, I only had to add 8 screws that took 10 minutes and everything lined up perfectly. I can’t speak to the weather resistance as I just got it, and I will be keeping it under a covered porch. It feels and looks just like my real teak pieces. It arrived super fast and Wayfair kept me updated with texts when it shipped and when  it was delivered. Now I just need summer to arrive!
