The Maio products are beautifully designed. However, it should be mentioned that the wood is not water-repellent and is totally stained after just one rain shower, which cannot be removed. I find it very surprising that this happens to furniture that is explicitly sold as outdoor furniture. I would understand it after several years, but not with a brand new table. The fact that you then don't replace it and tell me that I can sand down the wood and repaint it is a cheek and anything but customer-friendly.
