It has been really nice. My kids and I have enjoyed having lunch outside under the big umbrella. Its a nice way to keep the kids in the shade on really sunny days. When it was raining we brought it inside and let the kids play on it. We have a step 2 table that matches our kitchen set, but my 1 yr old is always tipping over in the chairs. This one is great because it's durable and wont tip over!
