I wanted to love this set. it looked great after assembly, but one summer has really done a number on it. I totally expected the wood to weather and grey (that's what acacia does), but I was disappointed in the cracks and warps in the tabletop after just a couple of months. I might try to sand it down and apply some weatherseal on it next summer to see if that helps to restore and seal it, but I was hoping this would be a bit more durable out of the box.
