Oakland Living Mississippi Cast Aluminum End Table, 18-Inch, Antique Bronze

this is a beautiful, sturdy little table. As others have indicated, the instructions are worse than useless.Actually misleading. But it was easy to build anyhow.Cast Aluminium should last for years--even outdoors

Over $100 for this table and arrives with no hardware to put together. Ridiculous. Sending Back....ASAP

Maybe I just had bad luck, but these have a tendency to break during shipping and break during assembly. For my first order, I ordered a pair of tables. They seemed packed appropriately with the two boxes packed together inside another third box. One table was fine and it went together fine, but the second table, when we opened the package, already had a broken area where the decorative side panel was broken off from its adjacent leg. The box did not seem previously opened. I suspect that the very heavy box was dropped and the crack occurred during shipping. So I initiated an Amazon return/replacement order---this was the third table I ordered. The replacement box arrived quickly, in two days, but imagine my dismay and disappointment to have a chunk of aluminum crack as I was screwing in a side panel on the replacement table. I decided to just keep the third table because the crack does not really show much and the side panel is attached with two screws on each side; the side panel on our table seems decently stable with only three attachment screws in place rather than four (one on one side and two on the other side). I feel irritated, however, because I still need to wrap up and package and schlep and return the first broken table that arrived broken AND because one of the tables I'm keeping I paid full price for, but it actually has a broken part and I don't know if it will last or become destabilized. I wish they could just send me one small side replacement panel, but there is nonway to do this. I'd have to disassemble and repackage and return the whole dang thing. All this said, I do like the design and style of the table a lot.

I read that people struggled to assemble the table because of the instructions, which were worse than useless, but I figured out quickly how to assemble the table. The actually doing it was very hard because the parts were so poorly machined. Attaching the assembled legs,to the bottom of the table top took some strength because nothing squared up to fit, and then when I did get it lined up, one leg connected higher than the others (didn't nestle into the corner properly because of the poorly machined parts), so I was barely able to get the nut on the bolt. I finally got it done, but that longer leg means that the table wobbles. I fixed that with some furniture glides, so now it works and looks fine. I even stood on top of it (I way about 155 lbs.), and it is rock solid. It would get five stars with some better quality control and some actual instructions. But four stars are actually generous!

I had searched at all of the local garden centers and chain, big box home improvement stores and couldn't find a table that I liked for my patio. I searched on Amazon and easily found exactly what I was looking for. The table arrived (with 2 day Prime shipping) and was easy to assemble. The dimensions were exactly as listed in the description listing. It's very sturdy and well made.

My grandson put it together for me and said there were about 12 screws and none of them matched. They were just a bunch of odd sizes and no directions as what to do. He managed to get it together and it is sturdy and looks nice.

Could not assemble product. Bolts too short and the instructions were very inadequate.

Fast delivery, very nice looking, good quality and perfect size for me!
