Powder coating over steel is what keeps this frame from rusting through a wet season, and the coating is applied to a structure already rated for 165 lbs. Mixed brown PE weave wraps the sides. An umbrella hole slightly larger than 1.5 in runs through the 22 x 22 in top for a shade pole, and the table stands 18.5 in tall - deck chair arm height. Product weight is 23 lbs, on the heavier side for a side table, which is what stops it walking across a windy terrace. It works equally as a plant stand between two loungers.
