This piece looks nice (although if you look closely you can see the screws in each corner once it's built).  it's a nice wieght and looks like wicker put it's plastic so it should last well outside.  i have mine undern a screened porch so i'm expecting it to last a long time! Easy to put together!  After I bought this, I realized i probably could have gotten it for cheaper at BJs, but oh well, at least i have it now!
