********** Update
After we bought the tiles in May 2013, I can now write about the durability somewhat. The range of tiles, which was exposed to the direct weathering, unfortunately, no longer looks so beautiful. Here numerous individual pieces of wood have greatly by domed and partially resolved by the glands. To be fair, I must say that we have not subsequently oiled. Unfortunately, we all have to replace this now, because it is too big for our small children because of injury. Would I buy it again, because I'm not quite so sure. Maybe for an area that is better protected from the weather.
