I moved into an apartment after owning a house that was much larger, and needs to downsize my dining furniture. I thought this table looked great and would be a great fit. 
I was traveling in Australia and my dad came over and assembled the table for me. It looked great! But the first time I sat down at it, with my laptop to do some work, I slid a small plant out of my way to clear some space and it made an enormous gouge on the surface! This plant can’t weigh more than a pound and the bottom of the planter has protective pads on it! It was really unbelievable. 
I have since been using it and noticed that absolutely anythingeverything leaves scratchesgouges in the surface.
