Great looking table. We do cover it up each night and still see a littlr bit of fading on the wood, likely due to the sun. I am ok with this though. The acacia wood is meant to fade and 'age'. There was even a tag on the table attesting to this fact. Metal support beams look good/very nice quality. No umbrella hole in the middle if that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. We are careful with our chairs as they have metal arms and I feel it could damage the wood on the table of you're not careful. But that's specific to our chairs. Super easy to put together and well packed.
