For an "oiled" surface, this stains badly if any water is dropped on it. You also can't return it if you start putting it together which is unfortunate as I found a nasty crack in one of the tabletop struts after I'd started assembling it. In addition, the upholstered seat of one of the chairs had a black mark on it which, when wiped, went all over the fake suede. Finally, it took much longer than everything else to even be dispatched. I would not recommend and frankly, had I not been in desperate need of a dining table and taken a day off to wait around for it I would have returned it.
