Coordinates nicely with a loveseat + coffee table combo I bought last year. Exposed to a lot of sun, heat and rain on my deck and it still looks great. You may want to put a rigid surfaced tray on the upper shelf since it is quite wide and can bow in the middle from the weigh of heavier items. Very well constructed however so if you just anchor the weight of glasses, flatware, etc. on a tray, you should be fine. Great look for the price!
