I initially loved this outdoor dining set. Beautiful finish, easy to put together, nice weight, sturdy feel, great size and overall value.

However, after less than one year the finish is wearing off on the table surface. This is after having the table and chairs covered during the entire winter season with a heavy duty cover AND the table is completely under a covered patio area. 

Had this been exposed to the elements at all, I imagine the entire table finish would have worn off by now. 


Unless I got a bunk set where the stain was not applied correctly, I would recommend to continue shopping and look for a different set.
