Pleasantly surprised !!! Table is high quality and STURDY! ...we've got a 70 lbs clumsy golden doodle and have been impressed with the stability. The mosaic is actually tile! I was worried it would be stickers. The mosaics on the back of the chairs are tile too! Over all super pleased, exactly what we wanted. Only concern: it you live in a cold climate, I wouldn't leave this out all winter. The mortar is porous and will probably crack with freeze/thaw if it gets wet.
