After looking at several dinning tables, I decided on this set because of the structure, style and the table size. We put it in our vacation home and used it one weekend and the stain/paint is already starting to chip. I did put a tempered glass top to avoid any damage and sadly when the glass moved it removed some of the staining. This truly is a solid set, but the staining and painting don't hold up to wear and tear very well.

Purchased this set to get a new look to our kitchen after 30 years with our old set! Love the style and look with the dark top and light gray bottom! Sadly though with in the first hour my granddaughter has a bowl of cereal and when she slid the bowl across the table it left a long scratch! This this supposed to be an everyday kitchen set so I would think that it should be able to take everyday wear and tear. The finish is very delicate which is not what I expected for a family dinner table. Called Jordan’s and they were exceptional with their customer service! They offered to come get the set and have us come pick something else or have it repaired. Because I love the look of the whole set I opted to have it repaired, that included the 3 chairs that ended up with a bunch of scratches! All repairs have been completed so to protect the table top we ordered tempered glass which allows us to see the beauty of the dark wood and protect the top from scratches and for the chairs I purchased cushions for each chair which add additional color to the kitchen! Feel that something that is intended to be used as an everyday item should have a durable finish! As previously stated my other set we had for 30 years and still look good and was sturdy, so much so our daughter took our old set for her kitchen! This would have been given 5’a all the way around if it was not for the scratching issue!
