We have had this table for seven years now. It has been outside year round and has been exposed to the harsh Wisconsin weather (extreme cold, snow, hot and humid summers, and never in the shade) and chlorine from the kids sitting down after the pool. It has been used a lot by both adults and kids during that time. We have never folded it up for storage. Two years ago the plastic top started to crack along the edges where people sit and lean on and along the edges of the benches. This year it has gotten worse and has started to crumble so we need to replace it. Check out the pictures after seven years. There is not a single rust on the metal frame! This table has been the most durable and longest lasting outdoor furniture we have ever purchased! I am very surprised and impressed. Highly recommend.

It's heavy, so we don't have to worry about someone stealing it (although we decided to add a chain to the locked tree) or about it blowing away in the West Texas wind. The finish is a bit shiny and very smooth. Doesn't burn. I don't usually review, but this find was so good I had to share.

I bought one and put it in our office parking lot. It is secured to the handrail with a 4 foot cable and a lock so it doesn't get lost at night. I recommend it. The employees love it.

love this picnic table, it was easy to assemble, super sturdy, well made, and it fits in the perfect spot

Manufacturing issue. The desktop is not fully welded together. Edit: I contacted costway and they offered a partial refund, which I declined. I requested a replacement. However, costway directed me to contact the manufacturer for further assistance. I will update this review as the situation warrants.
