How difficult is it to cut the umbrella hole in this table? Do you need special tools?

When I bought my table it all ready came with umbrella hole. You can cut your own hole with a hole saw to the size you need, make sure to measure well and then cut the hole.

If you ordered the green one it has an umbrella hole already drilled out and has a black plastic cap to insert when you aren't using the umbrella.

There is already a pre-cut hole in the table it has a black "cap" over it, simply pull the cap out and stick the umbrella in, very easy! Great table, we've had ours for almost a year... it's been GREAT!

This table is not designed to have an umbrella installed through the middle, it has an ice bucket. You can however get a side stand umbrella for it.

Personally, I have not used an umbrella with mine but the table should be sturdy/heavy enough to hold the umbrella.

I would suggest get the umbrella kit, drill hole in center board and attach a bracket that should be in the kit

The table does have a center hole for an umbrella. We used a large green one last year. We have not purchased pillows for ours but I am sure you can easily find a pillow that will fit.

I have one of these and there is no umbrella hole. There is a large hole where the firebowl sits and you can cover that with a cast iron cover which looks like the rest of table top. The cover has a ball-shaped hand hold on top which looks somewhat like a hole in the picture but isn't.

It wasn't difficult, and rather quick to put together. The entire table top is already assembled. You just have to put on the legs and cross bars. My boyfriend and I did it together, but honestly he did most of it. I highly recommend that you put 2 coats of polyurathane (sp?) on this table as soon as you assemble it. I didn't want to run the risk of the finish failing in the sun and rain. So far, so good... better than good, it's beautiful! I got an umbrella from home depot for $25 and it's so rich looking now!

There is no round hole in the table for an umbrella. You could have a tilting or standard umbrella to the side. We love our set and use it everyday. Because of the configuration of our apt building the terrace is in the shade afternoons and evenings.

Sure, just build it as you normally would then after completed take the correct sized hole saw or paddel bit needed for the diameter of the umbrella pole and drill the hole. Just make sure when you place the center cross brace or two leg braces that they are not in the way of the hole in the center.

This is only to secure the umbrella through a table hole. You can not use it alone.

The inside hole is about 2 in. diameter. If you wanted to put the umbrella pole down through, it would be possible as long as it fit! Good idea!

It's made of compressed wood. I suppose with the proper precision and tool a hole can be cut.

Partially collapse the frame, put on the cover, it will not fit the hole, just lay on top of it, and open the umbrella. We could have cut a larger hole, but this method is working. We've had our umbrella over a month, 2 months, and have lots of wind, and it is just fine. No problem with it just laying there.

Yes I had the same situation... It is easily cut with a hand saw... You just have to worry about the pitch but its not to o difficult

There is definitely space underneath the table for an iron base and the pole could go straight down without hitting anything. The top of the table isn't too thick, but I would be cautious about cutting into it.
