Flash FurnitureMellie 27.5'' Round Aluminum Indoor-Outdoor Table with Stainless Steel Table Top

Substantial and the perfect size as an accent table or bistro

This is a review of the 27.5" version. The table is rock solid. No wobble, no leveling issues, no problems at all. What's atrocious are the (non)-instructions that are included in the kit. The hardware you receive doesn't even line up with the instructions!Here's how to set it up with a stable build:1) Start with the table top, still in the bubble wrap. Lay it on the ground with the top facing down. Rip off the bottom of the wrap to expose the threaded pilot hole.2) Screw two (2) bolts (not one!!) onto the tension rod, then a locking washer, then a flat washer. Your kit comes with 4 bolts for a reason.3) Screw the tension rod into the table top. Screw it in as far as it will go, hand-tight.4) Use an adjustable wrench (the disposable wrench included is garbage) to screw down the bolt nearest to the table, tightly.5) Once that's done, screw down the other bolt to lock in the first one.6) Slide the column cowl onto the assembly. **IMPORTANT** there's a notch on the cowl! Make sure this lines up with the notch on the table top, or your table will NEVER be level and wobble like all hell.7) Screw the plastic feet into the bottom assembly.8) Take the bolt out of the bottom assembly. Toss it.9) Set the bottom assembly onto the column cowl. **IMPORTANT** there's a notch on the bottom too! Line it up to defeat the wobble king.10) Same deal: flat washer, locking washer, two bolts. Screw the first bolt down tight, then the second as a stopper.11) Flip over the table, tear off the bubble wrap and protective film, and you're all set.Follow these instructions and you've got a great little patio table, rock solid. Levels easily by adjusting the feet only. DON'T TWIST THE TOP AROUND to adjust the table! If you're doing that, you've built it wrong.

I bought this table several months ago but just put it out on our beachside balcony about a month and a half ago (after hurricane season passed here in South Florida). The top is "stainless" with an aluminum base but what they don't tell you is that screwed to the bottom of the table top and hidden in the four legs of the base are two huge pieces of cast iron (for weight?). Knowing that those would rust out in weeks with our salt air I coated all sides of those pieces with a spray on plastic coating before putting it all together - hoping that it would keep the rust off for at least a few months. I didn't have to worry about that. Take a look at the images attached. The "stainless" steel table top has started to rust. Yes, rust, that is because there is stainless steel and then there is CHEAP stainless steel and the cheap kind will rust. Look at the other image and you will see that the aluminum base has significant corrosion on it. This after less than two months sitting on our covered beach front balcony. I give it about two more months before the cast iron pieces rust through and start dripping rust on my balcony and then I will throw the whole thing away since I don't want rust stains on my deck. I just wish I could send this POS back or get a refund - oh well.It's now a few months after I posted the review above and things have gotten ever worse (if that is possible). Take a look at the third image below taken this morning (5/29/18) and after about three whole weeks with rain and tropical storm Alberto there is massive rust on the top of the table. So I stand by my statement that this table is junk, don't buy it.

I was looking for a durable black table top for my vintage cast iron table base, I couldn’t find just the table top in this size and color, so I ordered this bistro table. Package arrived damaged and open. The table base it came with had scratches on it and was also missing a key item to assemble it. The table top came with 2 dents on the rim.Overall I am happy with this table top, I didn’t mind the dents, as I’ve been searching for this for a really long time, however I was dissapointed that my package arrived damaged.

This is a sturdy and quite weighty table. It's very windy today, so I'm seeing if it stands up to it!Highly recommended is you want a small table for coffee, donuts, or other small meals.Very easy to assemble too - it took minutes.

The shipping box was badly damaged and the product looked used. The base was disconnected from the top so I had to buy screws to connect to the base. Definitely got some mismatched parts but once figured out it's a cute table.

Easy to assemble. Looks great. No dents!

The price was fantastic on this. I got 2 little metal chairs from Craigs list and this chair at such a deal! I'm ready to work outside in the shade all summer. I'm really amazed, I looked all over for an affordable table this size.
