This piece arrived bent and because of that damage, it was difficult to assemble [pieces wouldn't line up]. Luckily, my husband is pretty handy with tools and he was able to get it back in shape. It is a good hearty table. We are on a lake and subject to strong winds, and it doesn't appear to be an issue due to table weight. Warning: this table [like most metal tables] gets very hot in the sun. This could be an issue if you have small children.
