We have been using this table outside for almost a year and we're pretty happy with it. One chair came with a crack in it and one chair doesn't sit squarely (it wiggles), but I'm giving it a 4 (instead of the 3 those problems would suggest) because it's overall a very functional table.  We had a hard time finding one that would fit our small space and also had chairs that stack, and this one fits the bill. It is also weathering quite well.
