We have had this table for maybe a couple of months. It was the perfect fit for what we were looking for in our weird kitchen layout space. Easy to assemble, great color and sturdy material. However, it definitely doesn’t take well to usual kitchen table business like plates or spills. It stains easily and we already have several chipped areas to the surface of it. We do not have kids and have tried using place mats and it still occurs so if you have kids or are rough with your plate placement, this isn’t for you.
