I really stressed over getting this table, but am happy that I finally pulled the trigger. Seeing reviews about it scratching easy had me up in arms, but I've finally just let go and started using it as intended. I'm not hard on it by any means, but as a regular work station and eating area it is "so far so good!" I went 6 years without a kitchen table & chairs so this purchase was a very big deal for me, slept on it for months. I got the white modern chairs to match (as seen in other reviews), but from a different vendor and am really thrilled with my new setup! I couldn't find this style table for the price anywhere else. The only reason it isn't getting 4 stars is because the color is nothing like the unfinished wood picture, which is what I was going for. However, previous reviewers warned me of the orange tint and I decided I could live with it if that's how it showed up, and sure enough it did. I still love it though :)
