We bought this table in October and it took 4 people to put together. We were quite pleased with the look of the table but within a week the table top had its first chip. Then, we moved and the table top got a second larger divot in it. Overall, still doesn't bother me. Now, my 14th month old has pulled out the decorative plugs that cover the screw holes as they cannot be pushed in more securely. We have had to remove all of them as they are choking hazards. This does take away from the overall look of the table. It is an okay short term solution but I would not purchase this again especially if you planned on keeping it for a number of years. I guess you get what you pay for.
