I love the look and size of this table, which fits perfectly in my kitchen. However, I found a couple of noticeable scratches when it was delivered. I missed the chance to claim and request for a replacement. So, I'm stuck with this one and have to use a table cloth to cover this eye sore. No matter what though, I would use a table cloth because I'm a bit afraid of damaging the surface because it's high gloss. I love that look but am not sure if it's so practical.
