Just purchased this table and it's very handsome.  I can't stop staring at it!
I put a coat of sealant on it, as others suggested. Who knows if that will help, but it can't hurt.  Looks gorgeous with my blue bistro chairs! (p.s. This is not a "folding table," as indicated in the write-up.  I suppose you could fold it if your life depended on it, but once you put 6 brackets on wit the bolts, etc, there's no folding until you un-do 15 mins worth of work!) .  Really striking purchase!
