The advantage of an aluminum frame and built in umbrella stand makes this set very nice for any outdoor space.  Some customers complained that the finish on the base did not hold up very well, make sure that you do not use any harsh chemicals to clean you table with.  Only use a mild soap and water, using a glass cleaner on the top can ruin you paint on the base.
