This is a great looking table.  We actually love it, but you cant do homework on it.  If you write, it imprints onto the table.  It scratches very very easily.  Weve already knicked it a bunch after 6 months and we dont have a crazy household.  Overall its beautiful, and it fits in our space.  Glad it has a leaf and works for our life.  Would probably buy something a little more tough next time
