I have had this set a little over a year now and have not used it only a few times. The top of the table is metal which I thought was great. Until now it has rust spots on it. On the very top of it. It also has ring marks on it. so you cannot leave anything on it like a candle or a table decoration. Very disappointed in this table and at the price we paid for it you would think it would last more than a year..So upset...
