This wood and finish is easily damaged. After just a few days of ordinary, low traffic use I began seeing knicks, dents, and scratches in multiple places. I contacted the manufacturer who said there was one coat of laquer on top of one coat of stain. Obviously, both were applied by an automated sprayer mechanism, not a person with a hand sprayer. It’s been a few months now, and my home has one resident (me) and 2 cats with very few visitors. No holiday celebrations were held here. There are now dozens of knicks, dents, and scratches every where!!! The weather is warming. I’m about to try applying additional protective coats of brushing laquer to see if I can stop the damage. But I fully expect I’ll have to strip it down and start over someday. Don’t buy this.
