Does this table scratch or chip easily? Will it be in good shape for resale 2 years down the road?

Our has withstood hours of pretend kitchen and tea party play and our 3 yr old is not gentle! I think it will hold well without scratching. We have had for a year and has no scratches yet.

We've had our table over a year and it doesn't have the first scratch on it. Very durable and no sharp edges.

My granddaughter has had the table and chairs for over a year now and it has no srapes or chips. With normal use, I would say it will be ok.

Ours hasn't scratched or chipped, but we did have to get replacement parts for a leg and stool that came chipped. Very easy to do. Other than that, we have been very happy with it!

I had this table for at least two months and so far it is holding up pretty good.

I haven't put hot objects on the table but the table does scratch very easily.

YES---and most handily so! The table is really nicely made. Nothing shabby about it; you'll be happy if you buy it.

It isn't perfectly flat and smooth. There is a raised rim around the bottom. I doubt that it would scratch the surface of your table, though.

Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe. This table stood up to things being dropped on it, a TV that fell on it (long story) and just about any and all abuse that my household could possibly throw at it. Yes, it does have a few scuff marks, but they are barely noticeable and it has withstood all this for the past 8 or 9 months. I would not trade this table or the matching end tables for anything I have seen. They are tough and durable. In a pinch it also serves as extra seating, although it isn't very comfortable for that. Go for it...I do not think you'll be disappointed. Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe.

I think a few scratches and dings are probably inevitable, over time, because the wood is soft. But, my table still looks almost new because I wrap it with a couple of layers of bubble wrap in three strips--one strip wrapped around each end, with the sides folded over to protect the corners and a strip down the middle to hold the legs in place. I tape with clear wrapping tape or masking tape, if it sticks well. It takes a little bit of time to put it away this way, but has protected it between uses and the wrap is reusable. A friend who bought one had enough sewing skills to make a sturdy envelope of fabric, which I think is very nice. She cut a strip of fabric and tied it around the middle, to hold the legs in place and she bought cardboard corners from a framing store, to put around the corners, before she slips it into its open-ended envelope. I hope this was helpful.

Mine is almost mint condition after over a year of medium / light use. With heavy use I imagine it would still be holding up.

It's pressed chip-board or whatever the typical flat-box vendors use. I would compare it to Ikea products. If you put it together right it's very sturdy. But I can't say it would survive multiple moves. I have mine in my guest bedroom and it's lasted three years of intermittent use and still looks great.

The item was chipped when I received it so I can't say. It hasn't incurred further damaged since I've owned it, likely due to the fact it has been handled with care and isn't used often.

We bought this table two years ago in Montgomery, Al. I don't believe you will have any trouble with rusting. The table is very good quality. Susan F.

It will scratch it just won't scratch as easily. I wouldn't use it as a cutting board. But as Bar top finishes go it is excellent.

I purchased 2 of these tables a couple of years ago. I wouldn't say they were excellent quality but they're nice looking and very functional. They are still in use even after being handled by movers. Assembly was not especially difficult, however I would definitely have an extra set of hands at one point in the instructions when the top needs to be attached to the front, back and side panels.

We left it outside all summer long. We brought it in for the winter. We live in New England. It is still in good shape. It will probably need to be stained at the end of this summer. LOVE this table.

The table has been in my 23yr old son's condo for a few weeks. I was there Saturday and there was not even a scratch. My son is less than careful or clean, it has stood up very well so far. He doesn't cook, can't answer about heat. No stains, and he drinks red colored drinks. Sorry I can't be more help.but, he loves it

For a while, yes. Once it has scratches, I don't know. I've had the table for five months and love it! I've wiped it with wet cloth at least twice a week - so far, so good. I have the white one.
