The legs are a bit spindly and need reinforcement, which wasn't hard to do. I worried about the "water resistant" method applied at the factory, so I did my own "waterproofing".  I also applied  extra coating to the bottom of each leg above the cups, which, in my environment, might be subject to pooling of rain water. (I bought this for two young sisters to enjoy together, so safety, durability, and longevity were my main concerns.)
