I purchased the dining set and 4 chairs in Ebony.  They look great and I love the set.  The problem is they mark very easily, especially the chair seats.  I've been using them now for about a month and they already have wear marks along the chair seats.  The table and the chair backs also nick very easily.  I've been using a furniture paint pen in Ebony to cover up the marks but that doesn't stay on long either.  Beautiful set that I love but it already looks beat up even though we've gently used it.  

Pros: Sturdy, easy to assemble, shipment was great, color is as described
Cons: Marks and scratches easily
