Thanks so much nanatricia for finding the instructions. I've been checking craigs list and still haven't found the right round table at the right price. I like the ripple in the glass. Ravencajun, thanks for the suggestion about putting something in the middle to cover up the hole. I'm back in school taking three more classes and working PT plus fall is here so that means lots of gardening, lawn work, and raking .... Sigh. Maybe next spring. I am so thrilled to have the instructions. Thanks again

I went out on my patio and saw the plank on the table has pop up. I laid the chair on the table to keep it down. But it still stands up.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Acrylic is an interesting idea, though I'd like the table to tie in with the rest of my wood patio furniture and was hoping to repurpose what I've already got on hand--CDX plywood (table base), birch slats (top detail), marine grade epoxy--rather than spend money on new materials. The input is much appreciated, lots of good stuff to consider!

Colored cushions would be nice..and more comfy when you are entertaining..even a fabric runner to match..to make the table a little more of a focal point..
