If you wish to put your table outside, I advise you to apply a protective resin for the bamboo. Indeed, if the bamboo is outside, it may turn gray over time if it has no protection. The bamboo resin will limit this. Similarly, if your table remains outside, you can put a transparent plastic tablecloth over it to protect the bamboo from changes in humidity. 8.
