It's a lot of fun. The holes in the decorative pattern are small enough to keep it level for all drinks or plates. god luck.
No, the finish on the "Austin" cast aluminum outdoor chairs does not match this table.
Yes, but only to the tabletop on each leg. It's very simple to do this while sitting at a different table. We've been enjoying our table for a few months now.

I quickly discovered that super cheap tables are flimsy. I'm so glad I went with these! My husband did not object to them being put together (which means they did not cut corners and cause him problems). They look great together and complement each other perfectly. They're the perfect size for working outside with my laptop, books, and hot tea, and they're stable with no wobbling. I have no complaints about these tables, and they appear to be of good quality. I anticipate that they will last a long time.
Let me start by saying that I am blown away by their quality. They're fantastic, and I'm completely smitten with them. To begin with, they were meticulously packaged. Second, they were very simple to put together. Finally, the product is of exceptional quality. The design of the table top is stunning, and it lays flat without any bumps. The legs have deep rubber toes that make contact with the ground, so there's no wobbling or metal on the patio. Each bolt is protected from the elements by a tight plastic cover. Tables are fantastic. Don't hold off on making a purchase.
Elegant as well as robust. We bought two of these tables to go with our glider bench as end tables. It took me no time at all to put them together. I was blown away by the fact that they have built-in levelers to compensate for uneven surfaces. They have a fantastic appearance and are clearly long-lasting. Not in the least bit light or flimsy. A photograph has been included. br>The GOLDSUN 2 Person Swing Glider is the glider bench.
It even came with tools and EXTRA bits in case you misplaced something like a small safety cap. My house has a large, sturdy plant on it.
Good design, relatively sturdy, but way too expensive. If that changes, I'll let you know. br>br>Secondary Benefitsbr>- As an engineer, I believe these are far superior to their competitors in terms of design: Less parts, higher quality components, and good metallurgy (sturdy cast aluminum with stainless steel fasteners) make it easier to assemble.
- The dissimilar metals are well-matched to prevent corrosion (large, painted aluminum surface in contact with small stainless steel surface). br>br>Disadvantagesbr>- They're roughly double the price they should be.
- In direct sunlight tropical temperatures, black aluminum chairs become extremely hot and transfer their heat to whoever touches them very quickly (much more effectively than iron), posing a slight burn risk.
- The dissimilar metals (Aluminum in contact with stainless steel) will eventually cause minor cosmetic issues (such as "tea staining" on the stainless steel fasteners) as well as corrosion. Only time will tell how well these hold up in the tropical heat and humidity.
It appears to be well-made and simple to put together. We had an outdoor patio table that was a perfect match for our new side tables in terms of color and design, which was a pleasant surprise. Today is March 2019br>br>Today is March 2019br>br>Today is March 2019br>br>To Two more of these side tables have just been ordered by 2020. We've been using the above-ordered outdoor tables for a year and needed to replace two more of a different brand that were 15 years old; the March 2019 tables are holding up admirably in our Texas sun and freezing temperatures. They complement our pool loungers perfectly. br>Very sturdy and, in my opinion, well constructed.
I needed a side table quickly so that I could spend more time sitting on the patio, but I couldn't find one in the stores, so I took a chance. The size is ideal for storing drinks, snacks, and books. It's light, and I'm not sure how well it'll withstand the elements, but it goes well with my higher-end items. You'll have to fiddle with the legs a little to get it level and not rock, but I'm still pleased with the price and quick delivery time, especially since I couldn't shop during the stay-at-home ordinances.
These were purchased for my patio and I am extremely pleased with them. I gave them four stars because the castings are of poor quality, and you can see that they haven't been properly prepared before being painted. The price, I believe, reflects this as well. They are deserving of 5 stars based on the price. These are great if you don't mind a few flaws like I do. Very strong and durable. They appear to be of good quality for the price, and I would recommend them for use as outdoor furniture.
