Really pleased with this table. I was skeptical ordering this table after seeing several reviews about damage. Amazon must have improved packaging; it was wrapped twice and arrived damage free. It went together easily. I sealed it with Starbrite Teak Sealer; after researching and also having poor experiences with teak oil, I found that sealer gets better reviews for wear and appearance. The table will be disassembled and stored in the basement this winter to further help. The table has a good weight. I chose non-teak chairs in order to save $$and reduce maintenance. The size is great for my deck. It seats four for dinner comfortably. Six would be a bit tight, but doable.
