I've had this table a year and absolutely love it. It is elegant and impressive and extremely useful.
I recommend two things:
Oil the table after you assemble it with a good quality wood oil. The wood was very dry. I oil it a couple of times a year to keep it looking beautiful.
Purchase a good-quality cover for it. I keep it covered if there is any chance of rain and before winter. When I took the cover off in spring it still looked great.
Assembly - this table is heavy. 2 big guys put it together in about the time predicted.
