Purchased the Paloma 5 piece Rubberwood Dining  set that is 6 months old.   It is beautiful but it chips on the edges and scratches terribly.  It is just my retired husband and I and we take pride in what we buy.  For $800 I would have expected better quality.  I actually was writing a size of a rug on a piece of paper and days later I’m looking and see 5x7 on my table.  If that  is not soft wood I don’t know what is.  Very very disappointed.
