Is this table set made from a hard or soft wood? Would the table dent easily while writing on it? Kids doing homework, pencils/pens pressing etc

Yes, it would. It scratches fairly easily and we are very careful with it. Depends on your kids, I guess.

The table top is extremely soft and it does mark and damage easily. I would not have it with children in the house.

Hello Jorge, happy new year. I believe the set is pretty sturdy, but I do try to protect it. I don't think pens/pencils would do any damage. The only damage I've had so far came from someone knocking over a chair (a small splinter came off). Smudges do show on the dark surface, but this usually happens on dark surfaces any way :). I have so far been very happy with the product, splinter and all.

This table is made from soft wood. It scratches so easily that we can't even set our plates directly on the table. We have to use place mats. It is more for looks than practical use. The chair seats are so small (narrow) that normal sized adults 'hang' over the sides. Like I said, it is very pretty to look at but not good for much more.

Wood. its a really nice table...but slightly high if you want to write on it (though have a height adjustable chair so its not an issue).

I have not seen any marks on the wood from my son but he is only 3 and mostly using markers and crayons. I just tested it writing with a pen and only one piece of paper and there were no marks left on the wood. I suppose anything is possible if someone were to press extra hard.

The table top is durable for us. My problem with this set is the stools...after not too long they are coming apart underneath so people get splinters when they grab to pull them up. I've been meaning to contact the supplier about this but haven't had a chance, but I think you should know.

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.

This table is made out of unfinished real wood pieces glued together, like butcher block. The variation in the clots of the pieces is very slight. We just put a clear satin finish on ours and use it in our mudroom. It's been great.

A very durable pressed wood. I ordered this for my 2 year old & it is very sturdy. In addition, I ordered the office furniture in this line for my staff. Very happy with the product.

Hope I can help you, got the table set for my single daughter and she loved it! Had to have a friend help her put it together but like the quality and workmanship of the table! Shipped very quick. Jess

This depends on how you use the table. The surface is suitable if you are just using it to write or draw. If you are doing any crafting that requires cutting or puts pressure on the table yes it would get marked up so I would in this case use a mat or thick cardboard on the table. Overall this is a good basic table.

It has a bit of a texture to it, so writing with just one layer of paper would not be great. We use our 2 tables at the holidays to create a dining area large enough for the entire extended family to sit together and they work great for that. However, I attend a class every year where the facility uses the exact same table and I am able to easily take notes in a legal pad. It would also be OK for kids to use for coloring or art projects. Hope that info helps. BTW...we love our table and chairs and the family kept commenting on how comfortable the matching chairs are espeicallly considering they are folding chairs.

I have no idea? They are pretty hard although not impervious to denting after awhile. I am happy with this set and have had fun with it.

As it says in the description: "Table made from solid and composite wood." Hope this helps!

The whole thing is sturdy wood. The base is hollow inside. I know it looks like stone in the pictures. The table is great though. I also got the chairs with it. The whole set works nicely. The table top scratches easily though so be careful.

This table itself is made of all wood. The insert with the scene on it is 2 pieces made of something like a pressed board like a Masonite. It is very sturdy and I think nicely made you would not know the insert is not wood. My son loves his. Hope this helps.

I believe the table is made of real wood, judging by the weight of the pieces. If there are laminates involved, they are very good ones, and well hidden. It is a very nice piece of furniture, and looks like it should last a very long time! economical, too!

It's really soft wood. Will get dented easy. Didn't try long enough to see if it breaks.
