I only used the table for one month (mid August to mid September). I stored the table in a dry location for the winter months, when I took the cover off the table in the spring, I was disappointed to see the paint has started to flake off and the mortar is chipped and breaking in several locations. As well, the fire keeps going out every so often and is hard to re-light. 

I am very disappointed with this purchase, it’s not worth the money and I would highly discourage anyone from buying this fire pit table.
