I loved the addition of this coffee table to my deck! Just the right size. I feel there should be some weather protectant sealer on it though. Only had outside for a couple weeks and a crack appeared. The crack in pic 1 will only get worse. There are 2 nail pops or filler from a know in the grain that also appeared. Pic 2 shows one of them. Disappointed that this will not be a longer lasting piece for my deck. Way too much money for it not to do well in Maryland sun and rain.
