The table is made entirely of painted aluminum, is well made, sturdy and has an appealing and timeless design. The weight is - probably by the heavy plate - relatively high, but also has some advantages at a table, because it is supposed to be stable and the board should be able to withstand a lot. However, the table top is a little shaky and unstable effect - that might be a little more stable - but is fine if you do not set it. Therefore, only the 4 stars. It can be fitted well; but what you should set aside enough time. For permanent weather resistance and service life of the plastic parts can not say much, because the furniture is always covered and come down to the basement in the winter. The service life will be shown and this information be supplemented later. But so far a good, recommendable branded product.
