So far, we love the table. We have had the table for about a month and got to use it outside for the first time the other day. It was very easy to put together. Table looks great with our 'adult' outdoor furniture. My kids (almost 3 &amp; 1.5 years) love the table. We had it inside and they loved sitting at it to watch tv, do puzzles, etc. The top of the table has a grain texture, so it is not a smooth surface which would be preferable for coloring. We have painted at the table and it cleans nicely. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would recommend it to others.
