I was a bit disappointed at first, but it has grown on me and I like the piece much better now. First, it is smaller than I expected. Second, I was expecting it to be a darker color (like the picture), but it is very light tan/beige. Finally, it sets up backwards from the picture, therefore it does not sit on my patio the way I intended it to.  I would not have paid the money I did if I had seen it in person. Let's hope it holds up!!
