At one year, this dining set looks as if it has aged 10 years.  Boards are lifting up, color is completely faded and some pieces are cracking.  We have replaced several sections of the table in this past year, only to still end up with a worn out, tired and cheap looking table.  We live in Texas, so the summers are hot...  but our winter is mild.  Outdoor furniture should be able to take a little rain and sun.   Could not be more disappointed.
