The product itself seems very durable and adequate, haven't had time to kid test it as it was a Christmas present, but he likes it a lot. My issue with the product was with shipping and packaging. The item reached us with a sizable gash in one corner of the box, a large chunk of the corner-both sides. You could look inside the box see the item, color everything. First off, I do a lot of internet shopping and I know there are stiffer less pliable cardboard boxes out there, and this one was below par. I was concerned so I took pictures with my phone before I opened the rest of the box. The table had one of those thin Styrofoam mesh sheets over it, that was it, no Bubble Cushion, no air cushion packages, no thick Styrofoam blocks to protect the table if the UPS guy dropped it on the ground getting it out of the truck. And this is a decent sized square, flat box, hard to grip if you have short arm span. When I looked at the table, there were a couple of scratches and nicks on the underside, no biggie, 'cause you don't see that. But there was a noticeable vertical cut or gash on the table edging, the blue part in our case. Like someone had cut it with a box cutter or maybe something sharp in the delivery truck or conveyor belt at the UPS facility. We kept the table because by the time we opened it, it was already the second week in December, I knew I could easily turn the table so the gash was closer to the wall and my child would not see it, it wasn't worth the hassle or extra cost if there was any to send it back and try and get another one before Christmas and hope that one wasn't damaged the same or worse. The chairs and table legs came without incident and are great. We like the table and the price was really good for the quality we received. It doesn't turn me off to wayfair, but if I order from them again, I will read the return conditions better. I am used to dealing with amazon, with does returns extremely well and with minimal hassle, but if wayfair products are shipped like this, I need to know that I can return damaged goods without extra cost or hassle.
