Overall very pleased with the quality and stability of this table and chairs. I recently ordered another table that scratched and dented almost immediately. This one appears to be much harder wood and more kid-friendly. However, on delivery, 2 of the 4 corners are scratched and dented and there is a small chip on one edge. Since I have kids and expect some wear and tear eventually, it's not worth my effort or cost to send it back. But be aware of damage to packaging. May mean damage to goods as well.
