I love the overall look of the table.  It's gorgeous and unique.  The problem I have with the table is that if something gets spilled on it, there is absolutely no way to clean it up.  Whether it's food, coffee or what have you, it gets stuck in the crevices of the table and other than pressure washing it I just don't see a way to clean it.  It really needs some sort of covering or something over the table top.  I wouldn't want to take away from the texture and design of the bamboo, but maybe some sort of resin or something over the top to protect would work out well.  We purchased it for a vacation home and I'm worried that it's just not going to last very long.
