First of all, these tables arrived about a week earlier than expected. I really appreciate the fast, and free, shipping! The tables came very nicely packaged but even so, several of the hard rubber "leveler feet" were broken off of the legs. The feet have a half inch diameter foot/pad and about a quarter inch diameter post that is screwed into a threaded hole in the end of the legs. The foot/pads were broken off of the posts on three of the eight legs. I don't think you can get similar feet at hardware stores so I just removed the unbroken feet from the remaining legs so the legs of the tables would all be without feet and the same length. I was thinking of putting felt pads under the feet but actually they aren't needed. The tables only rock a bit if they are on an very uneven surface and our patio is fairly flat so it's not a problem. If there wasn't the issue with the feet, I would have given these tables five stars. The tables look great and I think they'll look even better as they weather/age. I don't know how much weight they could handle but they seem very strong. Assembling the tables took me about 40 minutes - 5 of which was unpacking the protective wrapping. The hardware kit comes with tools but I used my own which made for a stronger assembly because I could tighten the studs and nuts tighter. There were one or two spare fasteners of each type which was good in case one of the studs or nuts wouldn't thread properly but there weren't any bad ones in my set. Anyway, I think the assembly went well. We live very close to the ocean (about 400 yards) and salt air corrodes anything made of iron really fast. So aluminum tables are the only way to go for us. I would recommend these tables to anyone who has similar needs and wants this size and style.I might be a little unusual here, but I actually like the choice of using studs instead of screws for attaching the legs. I would have used Belleville washers instead of simple lock washers, but given the other reviews on this page, that would probably have resulted in even more customer confusion.I assembled one table using the provided wrench, but that was super frustrating. I assembled the second table using a normal 14 mm open end wrench and it was a much better experience. I suspect they included a tiny flimsy wrench to avoid problems with people pulling the threads out of the table. The nuts and studs are carbon steel, but the table is aluminum. This means that the most expensive part is going to fail first if you over tighten the nuts holding the legs on.The levelers I received are carbon steel with a plastic shell. The threads go into an aluminum tapped hole on the bottom of the legs, so these could be replaced with different leveler pretty easily. None of mine arrived broken. They also don't look like the levelers in the pictures in other people's reviews. Maybe they have corrected this earlier problem.I'm curious how all of the carbon-steel fasteners are going to hold up outside exposed to the elements and attached to a large piece of aluminum. Can you say galvanic corrosion?If you are the kind of person that already owns a set of metric open-end wrenches, then this is trivial to assemble in less than 30 minutes. If you don't own any hand tools, and are not mechanically inclined, then the assembly of stud, washer, lock washer, nut and cap four times might take longer.The tables easily hold my weight when I sit on them. I'm not sure how much they are officially rated to hold.I bought these to go with this bench that I LOVE: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G7VM7UG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1They are obviously the same exact style, but the finish is much more copper-toned than the bench. The bench looks almost black and you have to look pretty closely to see any bronzing. These tables are very coppery. Not the end of the world and I'm still using them, but I wish they matched better. It's not like they're sold together or advertised to go together, but still disappointing since they are styled exactly the same and come with the same hardware, instructions, packaging and even customer service number.The little black caps provided to cover the hardware are extremely difficult to get on because they are too close together. Only after lining up the nuts just perfectly was I able to hammer most of them on, which is awkward because you can't really get to them all with a hammer, so you have to use a punch or something - it's just awkward, like they didn't think it through. On one corner I may not be able to get it to work at all.On the bench I didn't have to use the leveling feet at all. Maybe because it's long and heavy enough that the metal will flex adequately on its own to meet the ground surface it's on. But these little tables don't self level as well, and using the leveling feet make them become loose and it feels like they're going to fall out.So it's fine, and even if I could return them for free I probably still wouldn't, but I wish they were as perfect as the bench. I could only choose 3 or 4 stars so I went with 3, but that seems a little harsh. I would prefer to say 3 and a half. But I don't feel like I can give a 4.easy to assemble, light weight, don't rust, nice finishGreat product. Very well packed. Had problem installing the black caps over the bolts. Soake them in hot water. Made a big difference. I would buy again.
