I really wanted to love this table. I love the look. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged with a knick in the side of the table. The knick reveals that the quality of this table is poor. It is not a table that will stand up to children and rough use. From the knick I can see that it is made up of a cheap composite material and it seems like it will continue to easily chip and scratch. If you live alone, hardly entertain, always use placemats to protect the top or if it is just to look at and not use - you might be ok. Such a same because it looks amazing.
