Is this table top durable? does it require coasters, placemats,and/or special treatment to stay in good shape?

Very durable. No coasters or placemats. Mine is still in great shape. I have 6 kids do its used a lot!

No coasters needed. But I would never put a hot pan directly on it or it will melt the table. Not sure what it's made of but some type of high density plastic or polyemer. Maybe material is in description. I like mine and get lots of compliments. Most people think it is real marble till I have them pick it up (extremely light). I will say that this table/chairs are slightly shorter than I expected. I needed something smaller length and width wise. To me it just seems like it needs to be 2-3 inches taller.

No, I would not recommend this table. It is of very poor quality and although it is inexpensive, it will not last long at all. Also, it came with the edges already worn off.

The table feels like it could be coated and it's easy to clean, but I'm not 100% sure that it has protective coating; I think you'd have to contact the company. I haven't wanted to take the chance so we use coasters :) However, we've had the table now for over a year, and not *every* glass has been on a coaster, and we don't have any visible watermarks.

Hi. Nice table, but not enough support for direct paper and table top hard writing due to thin padding. The paper won't tear, but you'll leave marking on the plastic cover on top of table.

Hi ! The table and chairs are metal. The top of the table seems to be cardboard covered with plastic. It's a very thin plastic covering. Same for the chairs. I bought this for when my grandchild will visit but I would not have purchased for my own because I'm afraid it would not have lasted very long. The table and chairs are sturdy and stable. I'm just disappointed with the covering. Will probably need to be upholstered in a few years.

The top itself is durable enough, but kids climbing on this table will result in the table giving out soon because the fasteners in the frame won't hold up very well. There is no grain in that kind of material so screws loose their grip easily.

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 top is woven and a little soft if you push on it, but it isn't hard to wipe off and doesn't create unevenness with objects/plates, etc. that you put on it. I have a center piece on it all the time with candles and have had plants on it at times. I think it's a great, light-weight outdoor table. I bought it because it was the color of all-weather wicker I needed and because it was light & easy to move around. I've been very pleased with the table and have had up to five guests sitting around it at dinner with no problems.

table is 3d all the way around,it is not flat in the back. the table is not flat topped, elephants' heads are not flat with or without glass. i will not use it outdoors. it is a beautiful indoor furniture piece, i will not put it to heavy duty use, like using the glass for food or drinks for guests very frequently. i am extremely happy with it. it is also good conversation piece and attravts attention of guests.

It has held up well! Its used in a guest room but my kids like to sit on the bed all the time, so I've even had to spot clean it. It's very pretty and is a great quality. I get compliments on it all the time. I hope this helps!

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!

I made coasters with mine and I do put hot coffee/tea on it from time to time, no wear or tear on them yet and we've had them for almost two years.

Yes this is very durable! The wood is solid and thick. Personally we love the top part. We use every inch of it to store dishes and accessories.

It has been a little over a year with our set. We eat at the table but also have things that end up finding a home there...like napkin holders...flower vases etc....This is a "rubberwood" table. It comes with a decent finish of polyurethane. However, we do keep either a table cloth or a runner on it. It is TRUE that a nice wood table should be showed off a bit, but then again, it's wood!! Cannot expect it to hold us like granite or tiles! Given that this product is real wood, I would protect it as such. It is a durable table, but it also needs consideration based on what it is constructed of. It has been a little over a year with our set.

Table top seems to be made of a plastic poxy. It seems to be lightly porous, as I have to scrub hard to get light stains out. I haven't permanently stained it but also haven't dropped food coloring on it. There may be additional surface protestants available at home improvement stores.

It has been a while...and do not recall mad there is nothing on the table to indicate this info... I would just contact coaster directly...they have a company website if you google their name. Just for your info the table scratches and chips easily ...it really smelled like varnish when we received it and had to keep the windows open for a few days. I will say the bar stools hold up extremely well and best part of the set! They have not chipped or been easily scratched.

It was purchased for a grandson and is at his house. I would guess the other answer is close. We found the table to be stable and well-built. Our grandson is three years old; so, that may make a difference in our perspective on durability.
