After having this set for over 5 months now, I feel that now is a good time to leave a review. Pros: perfect size- love that it can be made larger with the leaf, love the color, both the table and chairs are sturdy and the storage cabinet (not a drawer) is very useful. Cons: The table is VERY susceptible to dings and scratches. The finish is not at all forgiving and if (when) something gets knocked against the side, the resulting scar is a light-colored wood. If I could go back in time, I'm not sure I would purchase this set again.
