My granddaughter loves the table, she eats outside on it, colors etc. and we will move it in when the weather turns bad so she can still use it.   We haven't had it long, so it may be more sturdy and durable than our first impression was.  We were surprise because it doesn't seem to be as thick as some of our older (everything is less than 2 yrs. old) pieces.  The naturally playful colors (we ordered the brown) enables us to  enjoy our wooded backyard and our granddaughter too.
