I bought two of these - one for Florida and one for Maryland. The one in Florida is under an overhang and has been outside for 6 months, no issues - even with humidity and heavy rains. The one in Maryland was covered for the winter with a waterproof cover (as suggested). When uncovered, the table has "swollen up" and has a lumpy service with paint peeling. Must be a dud. Manufacturer won't help because it's past 90 days. So, good luck.
