Is the table top weathered/aged looking? Or is it the kind of table top you don't want your kids to eat or do their homework on for fear of scrat

It's weathered. I never use placemats or coasters and it has not left any marks.

It is a great table top for everyday use! I've been so happy with it! Since it was going to be part of our 'furniture' and living space I wanted something nearly indestructible with my grandbabies (and me) making crafts, having dinner, throwing our stuff on it when we get home, etc... It has a natural looking 'scratch' and rustic surface but smooth enough to keep clean. If my granddaughters left paint or ink stains on it, I cannot see it at all! I recommend it and it looks like you are getting it for a better price than when I bought it so snatch it up quick! Hope this helps!

I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I am looking at mine and the wood is okay...not flimsy, but not heavy--the black painted part is wood too. I like it sitting behind my dining room set, and it looks good sitting there! I think if you buy it you will be happy, too (like myself and the others on this website). I purchased mine from Wayfair for $244 with free shipping, but it sells for up to $400+ shipping on other sites. I feel I got a very good buy.

Not at all. Only good for looks. Table is inlaid wood. It would get ruined quickly if you home school at it. I would seriously choose something else.

I thought the same thing. The leather is black, the legs are espresso. We have mostly espresso furniture and it blends very well, it does almost appear espresso. Beware though, the table scratches insanely easy! I can't imagine how bad its going to look next year. We are very careful with it but it is our everyday dining table so if you are purchasing it for an everyday table you might want something more durable...

Not exactly sure what it is since it is now on my boat and I can't examine it right now. I think it is like pressed wood. As I recall it is somewhat of a shiny surface. I'm traveling and won't see it for days but that is my memory. Nice table.

I believe that it is all wood and the bit of carving is rather nice. The distressed idea of this product is not at all great The finished product has dark gray lines like it was distressed. It would be better if they discontinued this process. Otherwise it is a great table for a small space and I would not hesitate to buy another one if I needed it. Good priceand as a female I love assembling it because it is so easy.

It scratches pretty easily. After 1 party, there are a lot of little scratches on the table. This can be solved with a small table cloth or glass on the surface. We don't really care about that, because we bought them to be pub tables, not works of art.

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.

mine was not damaged it was in excellent shape maybe you should check with ups because they are the ones who delivered mine. it was a gift for my son and he has had the table for almost a year now and the table still looks like new.

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.

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!

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.

It's OK. Most of it is made of laminated pressboard or particle board. For us, it has held up with moderate (10 and 12 year old kids) use for the past year. I would consider it a starter set before you commit to a real wood table.The table has held up, the playing field has remained level. The grips do come off occasionally.It is pretty much what you would expect for the price, and has lived up to that expectation. I wouldn't expect it to be around in 5 years, and I didn't think it would.

Black or a very dark green. The other comment says the table didn't last a year. I have had mine for two and it looks a and plays great. I don't know what he is doing to or on his but mine is fine. Don't put liquids on it, it is not made to sit or lean heavily on and if you smash stuff into it you may have problems. Banging paddles, hitting it while playing and bumping and leaning are no problem.

The table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

I hope I can answer this...for one its a beautiful table that sits up to eight people...the metal is not chrome if your looking for a shiny metal! It sort of looks like a metallic paint finish! But thats what I was going for so I'm happy with my choice. Its extremely close to what you in see inthe picture except its a bit more shinier in person. I hope this helps

Pine. It's a very soft wood and dents and scratches easily. I bought the table last year for my 1, 2, and 3 year old. I have had to tighten the bolts a few times over the year. I do still like the table but that's because I bought it on sale for $50.
