Not exactly what I expected. Sounds "tinny" when tapping on the surface. Appears to be and indoor/outdoor table and may have been described that way. The new table I purchased from a large "furniture mart" smelled of mold on the underside of unfinished wood. I am very sensitive to mold, so found this all metal table, which suits my purpose. Easy to assemble. Frame and overall weight heavier that I expected. Sturdy.
