I loved/ love the look of this table. The mix of wood and metal is perfect. The down side is we read the paperwork that came with the table and it says it should not be in direct sunlight? It's an outdoor table! Within a week I could see the finish fading on the tabletop and seats. I'll need to sand and refinish the wood on the product and treat with. perhaps, a marine varnish. Love the look-not the now necessary maintenance on a new table we've had for less than 2-3 months.
