This outdoor patio table is okay! In my area there is lots of sun and I am not sure if I was supposed to "seal" the wood on this item. Unfortunately with time the table has shown that it was not able to hold up very well. I probably would not buy again or I would have taken protective measures from the start, such as put a cover on it, or ensure it's in a shady area or something like that. It's a decent size and style for a casual outdoor area but doesn't hold up to long term outside use.
