Very Attractive Table and Good Size
I received an email that someone was asking this question, but when I clicked on the link to answer it, the page on this site was a dud, so, here's the question, "How do you install the umbrella? The round, white piece is giving me problems." The short answer: You don't, and, the white piece is useless. The long answer is, even an expert putter-togetherer and instructions-follower in our household could find no way to secure it, so that is why I am confident with my short answer. The table is a great size, and very cute. I detract a star because the tabletop is not flat once put together; it is hollow, molded plastic, so it ripples a bit. If you need to set a cup on it, say, without it falling over and spilling out, you should adjust your expectation. Also, all the questions about replacing the umbrella - I paid more for the table with the umbrella that has the leaves on it, it is so attractive, yet there is no clear answer in the Q&A's below, on how or if you can get that exact umbrella again. The great: my two-year-old granddaughter can seat herself easily at this table, and, at supported sections of the benches, I can sit there with her (with my legs facing out, not with my legs under the table) and I'm 150 lbs. We have the table next to where our hose hooks up, and it's handy for her water toys to rest on and play with.
