We wanted a table that was more on the unique side and this fit the bill. It’s the perfect size for our patio with a weight that will keep it in place in crazy weather. Yeah, the top is teak so I worry about the changes from the sun but I’ll keep conditioning it to protect it. It’s worth the TLC. It’s super easy to put together. I did it by myself in a secondary location and got help to relocate it. We got chairs we loved and a cool rug and now we have a unique set we won’t see somewhere else!
