I've had this for a few weeks now and love it. I didn't want to buy an expensive wood table because I have cats that would scratch the surface and as it turns out, this finish is seemingly impervious to cat claws - lol.  NOT ONE SCRATCH. I was drawn to it because of the design and because the bench measurement fit my nook window. The price is great, the table and benches are all solid/sturdy and the surface (all same) cleans up easily with vinegar/water.  Would def recommend.
