"This is a wonderfully detailed, sturdy piece. Bigger than a bistro table, but smaller than a round picnic table. The top is level and the bottom footrest beneath doubles as a nice shelf. This piece will never blow away - very sturdy and stately. However, be warned that it may take 2 people to put together & place, as it is very heavy. I paired it with 3 of the matching chairs and 4 chairs around it may be a bit too crowded. Then again, mine is indoors in a Victorian consevatory."
