Got this for my 13 year old son for Christmas. He is EXTREMELY ruff with everything he touches, they are nothing I've bought him in the past that he didnt eventually within 2 to 3 months break. He has had this desk setting in his room for 7 months now, and it's still as if it's brand new. So happy I decided to pay the few extra bucks and buy this game table instead of going the $40 cheaper route.
