So far so good! I love having the bar height on the patio by the grill. It is more casual and a great spot to hang out and chat with friends. I think I need to put a varnish on it, though, to protect it. Also, because the hole in the table is higher than other tables, not all umbrellas work in it. Good thing I had an extra umbrella that fit... because the handle, etc. was high enough.
