This completes our outdoor sitting area. We got rid of the matching coffee table and we love how the wood looks with the set. It’s a great match to our dining set as well and ties the two area together so well. It made really well and was super easy to put together. Kids have played on it without scratching it so far seems like a durable top. It’s real wood so we can sand and  Yes stain if needed in the future. Would very much recommend. recommend!
