I’ve had this only a couple weeks, so can’t really say anything about durability except that it seems very solid, and being aluminum it should last a very long time. It was easy to assemble. Parts were packaged and labeled clearly — not just a bag of bolts. The table is light enough to be easy to move. The box was kind of hard to handle because of its size and hard to get a grip. But assembled, it is easy to grab the top and move. I matched it with some random chairs and I think it looks good with all of them. Our last table was a glass top, and I like the way water just drains off this one.
