Several of the pieces had minor damage on them when they arrived.  Due to the contrast between the wood color and the finish/paint color, even minor damage is visible, and it looks like damage, rather than like a "worn" look.  Wayfair was very prompt about replacing the damaged, but it still caused a delay, and we think it's actually the fault of the set itself - it will damage easily.  We've taken steps to protect it, and are generally happy with it, but if you are looking for resilient furniture, this one is not the best.
