This set is as beautiful as it appears on the website! I’m hopeful that some heat resistant place mats will give me some peace of mind since I doubt the tabletop can withstand any heat or abuse. It is NOT wood but sure looks nice. I wish the tabletop was offered in something more durable. Delivery and assembly with ‘Handy’ was great. 2 chairs have some snags. No sure how Wayfair will respond to my issue.
