[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought a nice wood table for our kitchen from Ethan Allen and it got scratched by the kids of my friends, not my own kids! I was so annoyed.[/quote] Exactly this. If it’s in an area of the house where it will actually get used, things are going to happen. If you told me it is a dining room table that’s mostly cordoned off, I’d say it stands a good chance to stay nice. In this case, buy the table you like but set aside any expectations that it will remain damage free if you don’t keep it covered/protected. I bought nice living room furniture once my youngest was 7 or 8. Nothing has been damaged but it’s not our main sitting area and we never eat or do art in there. [/quote]
