This table looks good but smelled really strongly of stain/poly out of the box.  It also had a slippery feel to it.  It smelled for about a week and it made me concerned of what chemicals we were being exposed to.  I did try to clean it with soap and water and then pledge, which helped with the slippery feel.  Some of the chair legs were not assembled well and showed the glue.  After a month of having it, one of the table legs keeps moving inwards, making it look like the table might collapse.  It is disappointing considering the kids are not rough with it- they just color on it.  I have 3 children- 5, 4, and 1.  They love it and are able to sit at it comfortably, but all 3 are on the smaller side.  If I had to do it over again, I would've spent more money and gotten a table that was sturdier and did not make me concerned about the chemicals in the finish.
