LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this table. It's a light wood, somewhat  particle board feel [cheap], but you get what you pay for. I love the color [even in my dark apartment] and the seats, while I'm not a fan of cushioned seats, are awesome. I wish the bench were a storage bench, but it works well as it is. The top has not gotten scratched up yet [I've had it for about 2 months now] and there are no issues. Happy with the purchase.
