How is the finish? Would it stand up to daily use?

I've had the table since around September 2012, and we love it. We use it all day as a desk for homeschooling, and then in the evenings we move it, extend it, and use it for dinner. It has one scratch on it, that I did when I was building a computer on it and drug the sharp metal corner of the case across it :-( It does take two people to extend and put the leaves in, but we positively LOVE this table. The home we own has a 35 foot long kitchen, so we had a huge table, but recently moved (military) to a MUCH smaller house that doesn't have room for a table set up all the time. This table has been fantastic so far. My only complaint would be that you have to pay close attention when sliding it together (while putting in or taking out a leaf) because it's easy to shift it so the pegs on one side don't line up with the holes on the other. We have also noticed the legs will occasionally loosen, so we keep an eye on them and tighten as needed. Anyway, having only had it less than 6 months, I can't really comment on the long term durability of the finish, but it seems to be pretty good, and I would definitely buy this table again! (I do not have the matching chairs, so I can't answer your question about those, sorry.)

Finish is a very thin layer of some kind of polyurethane. It's very durable and cleans up well with a damp sponge. I really love this table. It is not light weight.

Although mine is not heavily used, the finish has held up well to scrubbing with a nylon scrubber.

It feels sturdy to me. I use it daily but have only owned it a couple of months so I can't say much about durability.

There is a shiny finish to it! It's also very solid. I'm very imptessed, hope you are too

It depends on how well you take care of it. It's pretty decent for the price. Its not for heavy use.

Can't speak on the overall longevity as I'fe only had mine since September. I have used it almost everyday since then and it's still like brand new.

It seems quite sturdy but I have been using it for short time so far. It does not feel cheap. It has a nice shine, much better that the average you see from other brands.

I have only had it for about a year now, but I haven't had any issue with the finish on any area of the sink.

Totally. Have stood up over a good period of time. They have also maintained their finish with heavy dish wash use.

I would say that for this one the picture is pretty accurate. From what I understand this type of veneer is prestained and cannot be stained additionally. It has a good luster finish.

I feel, but don't know for sure, that it will last quite some time with general use. I am not sure about HEAVY daily use.

No problem with the finish at all. Nice grill grate. We put a kettle on it with chili and it held up great.

I would think so. The finish appears appropriate and I doubt if rust over a period of short years would be an issue.

I find it's good to use as a rower. Yes would stand up to daily use and is smooth. I think it's just as effective as a regular rowing machine.

I'd say the finish is considerably better than any other composite wood I've seen. Just be careful of the edges near the unfinished (back) of the unit. The finish can easily come up if agitated. I mean to be honest with you, you get what you pay for. Keep your expectations at around the 160-70 buck level & you'll be VERY happy with the finish.

I still use my everyday. I don't have any rusting issue what so every. I have been using my everyday since I got it. The inside still looks new.

I've had this table for slightly over a year now and can say that with daily use it is still sturdy and looks practically new. Good quality for a great price.
