Flash Furniture Mellie 23.5'' Round Aluminum Indoor-Outdoor Table with Base

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.

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.

Very good!

Edit: After owning this table for two years it is now such an eyesore it is going in the trash. The first year it was used on a covered deck and stayed looking decent. I moved to a house with a large uncovered deck and put this "Indoor-Outdoor" table on it. The top is now rusting and the underside is bubbling up and deforming because it has gotten wet. Apparently the top doesn't extend past the sides of the wood, or whatever it is, and it let water soak in as it ran off the top. The table is setting on a level surface and the weather has been fairly normal. I live in Arkansas, so the corrosion/rust isn't caused by salt in the air, as another reviewer suspected, it's just junk.Original review:Table looks nice but workmanship is awful. The shipping box was in perfect condition but the side of the table has dents that must have been there before boxing. The cast piece under the table top is so warped that the screws were stripped out on one side, again this would have had to have happened during assembly, not during shipment as it never could have been screwed down properly given how warped it is.

I really did not expect this table to be of such a good quality for the low price it was, but it was very nice.I was going to paint it to match all my other patio furniture, but it is too nice to paint. It looks good as it is.It was easy to put together and it balanced perfectly. No wobble at all.It turned out to be a product much better than expected.

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.

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.

Easy to assemble. Looks great. No dents!
