I would like to share my thoughts on the Hampton Bay Oakshire metal wicker outdoor dining table. The packaging was carefully done with parts tied together and separated by paper to prevent any scratching or damage during transit.
The table is constructed with metal and beautifully painted to resemble wood. We have acquired several other pieces from this company that match this style, and we have been pleased with the durability and how well they have maintained their beauty over time.
All the necessary assembly hardware is included, and the process is straightforward. You will need to assemble six pieces: four legs, a brace, and the top. Completing the assembly should take approximately one hour. If you decide to use a drill to tighten the screws, I recommend exercising caution. The screws have slightly soft metal, which can strip easily if not handled properly. It's important to note that the screws are machine threaded, so take care to avoid cross-threading when attaching them to their base.
When assembling the table, leave all the screws slightly loose so that you can adjust each leg, the brace, and the top to ensure proper alignment. Once all the screws are in place and started in their base, you can proceed to tighten them. It's crucial to square up the metal base to which the legs attach underneath the table's top. The instructions provided are clear, and I suggest following them precisely.
Once fully assembled, the table truly becomes a stunning addition to your outdoor space. It boasts a beautiful brown color with a stylish trim around the edges and an exquisite design for the legs. The table is sturdy and level when correctly assembled. It is well-made and has a slightly heavy feel, indicating its quality construction. Additionally, there is a hole in the center of the table and a brace beneath the top, allowing for the placement of an umbrella through to its base below. I hope the attached pictures can effectively convey its appeal.
Overall, we are thrilled with the table and eagerly anticipate enjoying many years of use. It has become a fantastic addition to our outdoor seating area, offering both aesthetic appeal and practicality.
