Functionally it works well but we got it for use while we sit on an outdoor couch and it is a little too tall to have much of an impact while sitting so keep the height of your seating area in mind before purchasing.  It also comes with covers when not in use but they tend to catch the wind and we've had them blow over and sustain minor damage as a result so you may want to have an area available to tuck them away in case of high winds/storms.  They do function well and look nice however.
