How durable is the cabinet top? I worry that the white color will easily show scratches.

After a few months use the cabinet remains just like new. We have a large base for out TV, and we regularly shift the base about for viewing from different directions. No evidence of scratching or fading.

We have had ours for a month now, and it seems to be very durable. We love this piece -- even my picky husband (former homebuilder) said "that's a really nice cabinet; I'm glad we got it."

It's an off white w/ cream colored accents so I think it would be fine! We also have a dark entertainment center and scratches are very very visable on that

Time will tell but my one year old pulls himself up on it daily and no issues at all. We use the shelves for his toys also and I haven't seen any scratches on them either. It is made from MDF so it's heavy and the top isn't as rigid as a wood top would be but it is well designed with supports in the right places. For the price, it really is a great product.

I have only had my kitchen for a couple of months, BUT I run a preschool. The kitchen still looks BRAND NEW. I imagine eventually the paint is going to show wear marks, but... honestly this is THE nicest kitchen I've seen.

I've had mine several months now, and mine has not scratched. I really like mine.

I haven't used mine for heavy duty purposes, but the paint has not chipped off. Maybe if you constantly slide heavy metallic objects on the top, the coloring may scrape off. I use it for boxes and other things and yet to see any wear on the one I put up in my closet in April of 2014

There have been a couple scratches over time, but I think it's pretty normal. The ones I have seem pretty sturdy. They haven't fallen a part apart yet and the hardware has stayed in place without loosening. I hope this helps.

The back side of the cabinet and the drawers are actually pieces of cardboard you secure with finishing nails. That is the only downside I have found with this desk after owning it for a few months now. The cardboard is finished just like the rest of the desk so it will look fine in the middle of a room as opposed to a corner. If you can get past the cardboard backsides.. After a lot of research, I decided on this one and still glad I did given the price. Most of the others in this range had complaints of the finish coming off etc. Mine has been very durable so far.

It is bare metal, but it's a clean polished surface. I've had my double-tier rack for almost 5 months and have never had a thought to change to another product. I have white dishes from Crate and Barrel and have not had any problem with scratches. I was surprised how many dishes I could get on the top rack, yet still load up bowls and small frying pans on top. The glasses and coffee cups fit easily under the top rack and bowls can be stacked on their side where the picture shows coffee cups. The one thing I did not like about the unit was the silverware holder. It is sectioned off which decreases the usable space. I bought a silver holder from Ikea that hangs over the sink from the front of the rack. Yes, I would buy it again and again. Mary LB

Yes. We have had ours 9 months and have a small number of scratches. They are almost not noticeable.

That desk top is very durable. You would have to bear down on it with something pretty hard for it to actually scratch the surface.

Not at all. Extremely happy with the sink. I was worried about scratches in the beginning. We have put several nives in the sink and no scratches yet.

I have had mine for a few months. So far it has held up nicely. I can see only one spot where it looks like the lid and the base rubbed up against each other. But the rest is looking very good.

I have some scratches but nothing extreme. I still love the sink and would recommend it. For the price and the quality, its a great product

I've had it since May, and have just recently noticed some scratches, but no dents. The scratches are only noticeable when looking at it closely.

Wow, I am not sure how to verify your question without really trying to scratch it. I will say though, I keep it mounted on my night stand and I occasionally bang it against my desk and have not scratched it. I would say it is as susceptible to scratches about the same as a bathroom mirror, which in my case is not easily. I really dig this mirror - Hope this helps.

So far I have not had any scratches and its easy to keep clean with just a damp cloth. I wouldn't say it would never scratch - anything can - but with normal usage should be OK. The one I received had been damaged before being packaged (at the factory) but has not yet deteriorated any further.

I've only had mine a few weeks and have dropped it and it's stayed completely intact. The only scratches I got were on the corners and they are barely there

I've had mine for about two months and I don't have any scratches on any of them with my husband, my sitter and me using them. We are careful not to use any metal utensils on them and wash with cloth, sponge or fabric-based scour pad if needed (and it rarely is) both inside and out. I gave away nearly $600 worth of All-Clad cookware after getting this set and I couldn't be happier. It's so worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice.
