I would totally keep it. Its sturdy, cute, weatherproof and already there!

You are not nuts. I can't really tell what shape it is in from the picture, but if the surfaces aren't uncomfortably rough, I would use it.

I would absolutely keep it. My grandparents had a similar set at their lake house many years ago. I'd love to have it now.

I would clean it up and enjoy it.

That's a keeper.

Once that's cleaned up, it's going to look amazing. I want to see after photos !

It is a definite keeper!

Keep it! You can always change your mind, but once it's gone, it's gone. Perhaps take some of the PO's pots, plant them and set them near or on the table.

That will clean up beautifully I'll bet! And it won't blow away in the wind. Looks like there is a hole for an umbrella too. Definitely a keeper. I love a nice sturdy outdoor table.

I would keep.

I love it, if it's not in the way keep it. A little bleach will kill all the mildew.

New ones are not inexpensive. A garden place near me offers them for over $500.00.

For what would you use it? It looks uncomfortable for dining. Visually, I don't find it particularly interesting or attractive. If it's not useful or beautiful... I'd be inclined to list it on a local freecycle-type site and have someone who would appreciate it take it away.

Power wash it and see what you get

It even has the center hole for an umbrella so you can put it in the sun or under some trees, and be able to sit or dine there without sun or bugs/leaves falling on you.

Found this on Google. I think if I power wash it and stain the concrete a warmer color it could be nice.

I would powerwash it and get some colorful cute outdoor pillows to sit on.

You could also separate it if you want to. Get different chairs for the table, maybe with matching cushions, and move the benches into the woods to make an amphiteatre or in an opening to do a firepit surrround, or use in different places as garden benches and surround with foliage or flowers. Then it wouldn't be so matchy matchy.

You could cover up the table with a tablecloth and umbrella for entertaining if you didn't feel like showing off the mosaic.

Absolutely keep it! And I'm not a lover of old things but I'd keep it and make it pretty again :)

I like it with moss on it...

I don't think you should power wash it. Go to HD or Lowe's and ask what to use for cleaning concrete. I think you need a solution of tsp (tri-sodium phosphate) and a good brush and a hose with sprayer. Maybe a mild bleach solution in detergent if that doesn't get the algae off.

It is the perfect materials for outdoors. It will be there FOREVER. Why would one replace such an item with something that is maintenance,or will blow away, or will wear out quickly? My opinion on garden anything is if it is made of wood or fragile forget it. Outside means bugs, webs, debris, mildew.....

I think it's pretty and can be spiffed up. Keep.

I love it- and that it's already there and yours- bonus. I have no idea about cleaning it up or anything more but it looks great to me. Enjoy it.

Annette, around here people actually TRY to get their new concrete planters and such to have that aged, black stained look. I can't remember the formula, but it involves using buttermilk to make moss grow.

I'd definitely clean off the green moss growth, but would leave the aged concrete as-is, just cleaned up. You can't buy that look.

That's what happens when 3" of mulch gets added every year for 20 years.

Scrape away the mulch until you see the bottom of the bench legs.

I heard the formula to grow moss is to combine live moss in a blender w/buttermilk, brush on (between the heaves, ugh).

Casey

I know someone that had that exact same set. They powerwashed it and it took the smooth layer of concrete off and exposed the rocks in the concrete underneath. Most of the detailing was destroyed.

I second going to HD and asking for something less abrasive.

Your set is perfect....

If you have a deck with good seating, it seems unnecesary but I would find a way/place to use it but perhaps not close to other seating. I really like it and notice it seems to be unanimous

How rough is it when you sit on it? I like the look of it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Keeper!

I would keep it, and try scrubbing it with a brush. I like it!
