Amazon Brand – Ravenna Home Archer Outdoor Patio C-Shaped Steel Side Table with Panel Top, 16.54″W, Gray

This is a really nice outdoor table, especially if you want something simple for a balcony or small patio area. The table is all metal with a nice powder coat finish. It is very solid and has enough weight to it that you won’t need to worry about it blowing away or anything in windy weather. The way the legs bolt to the tabletop (4 bolts at each corner) make the assembled table very rigid almost as if it is a single piece.

Assembly is very easy. The table comes in three parts: the tabletop, and two side pieces which each consist of two legs in a “U” shape. To assemble it you simply slide each side of legs into the main table top, then secure each side piece with 4 bolts at each corner (8 bolts per side piece, 16 bolts total). Even though the assembly is easy it will take you a little bit of time because there are so many bolts and the way they are positioned means that as you tighten each one it may make the other one next to it looser, so you’ll want to go back and forth between the bolts and make sure they are all tight once one bolt gets tight.

A few assembly tips:
1. Assemble the table on a rug so you don’t risk scratching the top surface since you’ll have it upside down for the assembly process.
2. Hand tighten each bolt and leave a little slack at first. This will let you make sure each bolt is able to be lined up correctly with its hole. Then once you have all of the bolts started you go back with the included Allen wrench and tighten them all down.
3. When using the Allen wrench be aware of what’s in the path of the wrench so you don’t accidentally scratch the finish off the legs of when tightening the bolts.

There are a few minor quality issues such as the edges of the leg pieces have some deformations in the metal and the leg horizontal pieces sitting a little differently in different areas (creating a bit of an edge just near one corner of mine, see pictures). I also noticed a few very very small dings in the metal but this doesn’t bother me as it will probably end up with a ding or two eventually just from being an outdoor metal table.

I’m very happy with this table and it works great for what I wanted. Now I can sit on my balcony and have a place to put my cocktail down!
