I bought this set knowing it was a temporary table.  It was very inexpensive.  It fits my small area nicely.  The chairs are pretty sturdy.  I love the colors.  Now the bad...the table surface does NOT react well to any sort of heat.  It makes the material a shiny color that doesn’t match the rest.  I have tried every type of cleaner to rectify the damage and nothing works.  I have four shiny circles where our plates rest.  My advice....if you must buy this table....use placemats!!!
