I got this table and I would really like to know it's worth. It feels heavy so I know it's iron. The glass weighs a lot. It's about 3 foot 5 inches wide, very thick and heavy.

The price of a wrought iron full dining set can easily top $1,000, cheaper prices can indicate cast iron. Vintage cast iron furniture was made by pouring molten iron into a mold and allowing it to harden. When the piece is cool, the manufacturer would open the mold to remove it, and the end piece usually has telltale mold lines that speak to its cast nature. This is not so for wrought iron furniture. It is made of iron, but it was "wrought" by a blacksmith and was never in a mold. antiques.lovetoknow.com/
Wrought iron pieces are heavy and are prone to rusting, especially if they are not regularly protected with paint or varnish.
Wrought iron was "wrought" by a blacksmith, and it often has hammer marks or other signs of work in the surface of the metal. If the surface is rough but uniform, it may be cast iron or steel instead.
Many wrought iron pieces were handmade by blacksmiths and may not bear a maker's mark or other identifying information.
Because pieces are often unmarked, looking at pattern books can help. Antique wrought iron restoration company Iron Renaissance has catalogs of the patterns used by many of the most coveted manufacturers.

I was told it was worth a lot but I've been unable to correctly identify it.
You would have to know who made it. I saw this table, also wrought iron and glass, sold for $80. www.lot-art.com/
How would I find out the maker I've looked online but I've not been successful in finding it.
Vintage wrought iron may not be marked, so I don't think it's possible to identify the manufacturer of your table.
