Plaza Mayor Square Wood Outdoor Bistro Table

The Hampton Bay Plaza Mayor Square Wood Outdoor Bistro Table is a sturdy and good looking table. It is so good looking that it can be used indoor and outdoors. It is a bistro style table so it is good for two people to use as a eating sufface. It is perfect for a table to put next to your grill to put stuff on while cooking ... it beats the plastic table it's replacing for both functions. It has some very nice thoughtful design elements. It is simple to assemble and can be done by one person easily. It has every thing you need in box. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. The base is very sturdy. It has little plastic feet at the bottom to help level the table ... you get about 1/4" to almost 1/2 inch of play. So I read the care guide and found something interesting. If you don't treat the wood surface, it will turn a soft grey. So I am going to have to treat the wood with a teak or linseed oil if I want to keep it look like it does every year or two. I need to do some research on other types of protectants or maybe sand it down and give it new stain that has protective elements in it.

A very sturdy table, looks great too. It seenmd little intense for one person to put together as trying to line things up 2-4 different ways at the same time is a bit challenging, but turned out easier than expected. Once everything was caught, then tightened down, it was very firm feeling. There are adjustments on the feet, in case they are needed, which mine didn't. The allen wrench needed to put it together was supplied as well as one extra of each hardware piece which is very thoughtful. Also, it's heavy enough that the wind will not be blowing this over easily like the previous PVC table.

We really love our new PlAZA Mayor square bistro table. It is easy to assemble following the directions. The redwood simulated top works well with our outdoor deck. we sit it in a usually unused space, now it it used for everything coming and going to the deck.It is made with strong metal legs, it is very sturdy, and has held everything we have put on it. Very nice design, will go with all decors.

I got this table for use on my deck. It has a simple, utilitarian design that makes it suitable for holding objects like dishes or potted plants. It's not a table for sitting. The table is easy to assemble, However, when I unpacked it, I discovered that one of eucalyptus boards had come loose from the frame (see photo below). The eucalyptus wood is not very dense and all five of the screws had come out of the wood. I repaired the screw holes with wood putty and redrilled pilot holes for the screws before reinstalling the board. There were no missing parts. The factory finish on the eucalyptus wood is a coating rather than a stain. The Use and Care Guide states that if the wood (finish) is untreated, "it will weather to a majestic, soft gray." It recommends using teak or linseed oil "before use...and throughout the season" to maintain the new appearance. I don't think these penetrating oils are suitable for application on a coating, so I treated the finished boards - top and bottom - with Olympic Waterguard Clear Waterproofing Sealant (THD SKU #605275). This sealant won't protect against damage from UV (table is not in direct sunlight) but I hope it will prevent the boards from mildewing and turning black. The table legs have adjustable plastic feet that allow it to be leveled and stabilized from rocking. The table was made in China. I think it would be a good value if it were priced at less than $100.

What looks great in the photos...comes with some caveats. I think I just had really high hopes for this outdoor patio serving table. And it just did not meet the expectations. The shipping container was what appeared to be a sturdy cardboard box from the outside. However, I think the table was inserted upside down from its intended way. The styrofoam was on the inner part of the box and not the outer part; although it did attempt to protect the exterior wood table top. As a result though, one of the boards became completely undone in shipping. Think of it as if to remove a nail or screw by pounding on the tip instead of head. All the screws from one board got knocked around in the hole so much so that most of them fell out. And the ones that stayed in tact grinded really large holes in the wood during transit! Secondly, one of the inner parts (underside of the table) of the wood was chipped. It revealed that this is not a firm wood. Instead from the booklet you get, it is eucalyptus wood. Couple that with an exposed spot (varnish missing) on the top layer and this really deflated my interest in it. Knowing this is eucalyptus wood, I have reservations about it being exposed to California sunshine in the summer, and early morning dew in the fall and spring. in fact, the directions say to use liquid wax on the metal and then use teak or linseed oil to maintain a "new" look. Additionally, it says to use a cover if left outside. Lastly, there is an envelope that is supposed to contain the directions and all the bolts and washers. The screws are only fastened with what appears to be machinery laid tape (it is packing tape quality). It must have come up during shipping because there was one loose silver bolt rattling around in the package. Between that and the other screws, it nicked the wood up -- thankfully it was on the side unseen on the bottom. This "could" be an exceptional and beautiful table. But, I am terribly disappointed. I had high hopes to be able to leave this table in place near our patio set as a real serving/bistro table to help serve things from. Now, to make it last and not be a one/two season product, I will have to move it every time to its place when dining to avoid exposure to the elements or purchase a cover and apply wax to repel moisture. This is a real burden and a nuisance for what is meant to be an outside table. For the sake of the table though, it is good height for any chair to be used as a larger than a tv-tray table. You can easily fit two adults at this table to eat from. It could also double as a children table too and seat four people. From start to finish, including unpacking and reading the directions, it takes less than 20 minutes to assemble. For the board that came undone, luckily with a little super glue and some wood paste, I got the screws to stick and the metal beam to adhere to the panel. But it is anyone's guess how long that lasts. This is another great looking product that was produced and assembled too cheaply and shipped with a bad design! I am giving it 3 stars, but is really between 2 (fair) and 3 (average).

A very nice, elegant table for my outdoor patio. The bistro table is a nice height so that you can add a couple of chairs next to it. I chose to use it for adding misc items next to my swing. I just got the thought as well that it would be the perfect table for when I grill. It will fit perfectly right next to my grill where I can keep my food, spices and utensils for easy access. The table is built sturdy and strong and every detail was carefully thought through. They even provide caps for the screws so that it gives the look a classier feel and look.

Finally got here so hot out took into the house to put together, few things not real happy about one is top was protected very well except the tape they used around the side of wood left the glue on the table and used few apps of Adhesive remover and scour pad to get it off then one small nick in corner of wood was scratched so needs to be fixed foe outside use (done before packing as was covered by cardboard protection then under side had a couple nicks that will have to be fixed would not fix but is outside use. For putting together would advise all to just start all screws then when all together tighten as hard to get all in if you don't. But all in all when all done is a great table and looks good, has adjustable legs it level in place as needed
