Is this table hard to clean and/or easy to scratch? I need it for a well used kitchen with children!

Very easy to clean, not sure about scratch, as I don't have little ones at home. But it is very light weight, little ones can push the table easily.

It is easy to clean but being soft wood it can be scratched easily. Being covered with varnish, plates or wet glasses may damage the finish. We cover it with a canvas for group meals. I hope I could be useful

Table is durable and very solid. I would suggest using a polish/protect to avoid scratching the top especially with children.

I got this same one for my dining room table. As far as I know its tempered and mine slides a little I need to get the clear rubber feet to put under it.Other than that I'm very happy with my purchase. If they're older kids I suggest the rubber feet if it's on a metal frame like mine it will slide if leaned on.

This was a gift for my granddaughter, who is 5 years old. For her it is decorative, so cleaning has not been an issue. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The chair is not hard seems to have enough give for comfort. We have not had any scratch issues. We use as end chairs at the dinner table, so it isn't sitting for long periods.

I've been using mine daily for about five months now and I see no visible scratches. I have ice cubes and almonds and nuts whirring in there regularly, and those are fairly hard items, but remember it's stainless steel. Think about what has to scratch that. All that said, the surface is not 100% pristine, there is some slight discoloration, but I'm assuming that could be cleaned. (Think about how stainless steel silverware discolors over time.) In fact, I'd love some advice on how to better clean this thing. Anyway, hope all this helps!

Yes, it can scratch. Its not an issue with the construction, its the finish - solid wood with that finish would likely scratch as well.

I just got the table in December and so far so good. It hasn't scratched or dented. Mostly, my 2 year old just colors on it right now. I'm sure we'll put it through the wringer as he gets older!

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.

We have had our table for about 5 months and have not had any chips to either the chairs or table. We have had spills, dirt, crayon, and marker on it, but it has cleaned off with a moist towel or Lysol wipe. Our set still looks nice and I still love it. Our 3 year old daughter uses it, and as a girl, she is not as hard on it as some boys can be.

I happen to find one that was the perfect size at a garage sale. I only use it around Christmas (it's Christmas green) for our "fancy" tea parties. The table really does clean up well and I don't see a great need for a table cloth to keep it new longer. Knowing my children, they would pull the table cloth off while they were eating, and I would have a bigger mess on my hands!!

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

I have not had any issues with scratching. The table is pretty sturdy but certainly is light enough for a child to push it around. Normal use shouldn't be an issue.

I purchased this table about a year ago and it's in great shape. I don't have children, but the paint hasn't chipped or faded. I have to tell you though that the company I ordered it from I was disappointed with. It was very late and took forever to get here. When it finally did arrive after contacting them, it was damaged. It had a crack in the top. It's pretty heavy and I would also recommend having someone assist you with the assembly. I do love it though. Finding a table that height, size, style, color, and shape, was not an easy task for me. I hope you're happy if you do decide to get it though. Hope this helped.

I Love scanpan! So easy to clean, I don't like the stainless on the out side. I have to use Barkeepers Friend to clean the outside to keep them looking good. The titanium is scratching and looking dull. I have always hand washed and I use rubber sheets in between when stacking in the cabinet. At this point I haven't tried using the warranty.

With care the the table will last. It definitely needs to be refinished. Structurally it's sound. I agree with the previous comment...happy 62.
