This is a great picnic table. I think it will go the distance and last for many years and grow with the kids for quite some time. The only flaws I see are that the actual benches have indentures in them where as a kid if you don't sit in the right place, it's a little uncomfortable, and the table surface is not a smooth surface and makes cleaning a little more difficult. Other than those minor flaws, the colors are nice and neutral to fit in with natural surroundings. Nice and sturdy table, worth the $$.
