We were looking for a sturdy table that would be easy to maintain. This table fits the bill perfectly. It is all metal except for the umbrella hole cover and adjusters at the bottom of the legs. It is nice to have plastic feet so as to not scratch the deck. The top has a very nice wood grain pattern that is part of the metal. The sturdy legs connect with two bolts on each leg so it is super easy to assemble. We wanted a table that had full space underneath so we could slide the chairs underneath and have space for our legs -- this table is the only 4 legged metal outdoor table we could find. We already had a sturdy wind proof umbrella base that we could slide under the table to attach the bottom of an umbrella if needed. While it is not super heavy, it is heavy enough to resist wind and not tip over. It is strong enough that I could sit on the edge.
