Christopher Knight Home Petra Iron End Table, Black Brush Silver

OK for my purpose, but don't expect solid iron.Though it does not state it, don't expect solid core wrought iron with this purchase. The tables are about 10 lbs each.The metal easily bends out of shape as you are tightening it down with provided nuts and built in bolts. Some of the tabs were close to their breaking point so I stopped tightening. In some cases you can't make the leg "section" flush with the table section it is just too warped or misaligned.They even suggest "dropping" the unit on a flat service to try to square up the unit. Umm, no thanks..In my case I had some left over marble from a kitchen remodel and I wanted to make into end tables. So I am using these for a strong base for the marble, and they look perfectly fine for outdoor furniture.In general, I don't think they will hold up to much abuse, but with reasonable care should be fine for most casual home situations. I would not stand on these for example (not that one should), I am sure they would collapse.

I’ve had these tables for one year and they are TOTALLY rusted & falling apart. The tops are rusted & are flaking off. They are advertised as outdoor tables, which they are supposed to be, but they aren’t. In fact, they were totally rusted after six months. Total cheap crap. Save your money—-do not buy these! False advertising. I’m throwing them in the garbage.

We needed to add some side tables, for drinks, etc. to our patio seating and these tables filled the need outstandingly. They actually match our black metal furniture quite well. They are sturdy and provide an excellent surface for drink ware, and the height is just right. Good looking, too. The lattice work top is nice an flat and probably will be just fine for even a stem ware base like a wine glass - although we haven’t actually tried that yet. They assembled quite easily and quickly. A small wrench is provided for using on the lock nut type fasteners, and an extra nut and leg cap was also provided. I would recommend, for faster assembly, you dip into your tool box for a nut driver or small ratchet and socket. It just makes tightening the lock nuts easier and quicker. Follow the directions to assure you don’t have a wobble, with the legs.

These tables began to rust and fall apart within months. They are definitely not suitable for outside.

Bought this table in June of 2019. Initially thought it would hold up well. I live in Southern California where we get very little rain, and obviously no winter type weather. The top has totally rusted, and the "powder coat" paint began falling off in chunks. It will be in the next trash pickup. Don't waste your money!

THE TABLE WAS PLACED IN MY OUTDOOR PATIO ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED TO SHOW RUSTING ON THE TOP AND AFTER A MONTH OR SO SQUARES OF PAINTED METAL STARTED COMING LOOSE. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT POWDER COATED STEEL. IT IS A WEAK FRAME WORK COVERED BY SQUARES OF PHONY PAINTED METAL. I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY THIS TABLE FOR OUTDOOR USE.

I bought this side table for outdoor use, but it is so gorgeous that I haven't been able to move it out of my living room so far. The metal lattice weave is exceptionally thick and beautiful.❤️ I couldn't be happier with it and can see it lasting a long, long time.❤️🖤💜‼️

Light but sturdy material. Sections fit perfect during the easy assembly. Smart design that willcomplement any patio furniture. I tend to a critic but honestly, there is nothing to dislike aboutthese end tables
