We love this table and loved the reviews we read before we bought it. Unfortunately, I'm only giving it 3 stars because as much as it is shown as an outdoor table, it does not withstand the elements (rain & sun). We bought this table a little over a month ago and within 2 weeks we noticed sign of damage on the top and sides. The wood varnish has started to peel around the knots & grain. We also have, what looks like water marks running down one of the legs, but it won't come clean. Must be the varnish running down the leg after a rain fall. If you are considering buying this table for your outdoor space, don't be disappointed like we are, cover it with a cover or put in under a covered area.
