I bought this coffee table online for the patio. It has a wrought iron base and the top is made of particle board with a wood veneer on it. Since it lives outside, it started to show wear and tear after one summer. At one point I sanded and painted it and applied stencils. But like everything else in AZ it faded over time. So I decided to apply wood slats in a herringbone pattern. I bought 8 foot lengths of lattice wood. Cut them down to size and applied paint and stain in various shades. Then glued and nailed them to the top. I painted the sides black and it blends in nicely. It’s not perfect but it’s an outdoor table, it doesn’t need to be. We’re very happy with it!
