I have one (http://www.westelm.com/products/parsons-coffee-table-g052/) and while a kid did make a scratch/mark on top with a toy, it's pretty good. Easy to wipe off marks from putting a glass down without a coaster, for example, but yeah, you do have to be a bit careful with the finish.

We have a sectional in our family room and we need a new coffee table. I love the look of the white square coffee tables, but I worry about the finish. Does anyone have one now? How does it hold up to use?
