Round Pine Kitchen Table By DeDee on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
This is a round pine kitchen table and chairs. I don't know the retail price for this as I bought it used. We wanted a small table even though we have a big family. As we don't all get much of a chance to eat at the same time. And we didn't want a table that was going to take up alot of room. I thought I would do a review because this table and chairs has its pros and cons. Pros being , take a look at the chairs to this set. They have the two extra poles like pieces on the back for added strength. This is what my husband liked. As with kids they tend to lean back on the chairs. So we thought great just the table we wanted. Cons, Well NOT. Not if you have kids. A small little scratch really embeds into this pine table. And because we have four children. Our once beautiful table is now full of scatches. So yes here you have a beautiful table but do not recommend if you have kids. Wishing now that I had a table cloth on it to prtect it. But Then you cant see the table.

you're right D! any furniture in the house is always waiting for the attack anytime of our little soldiers.. lol..
Kids can be hard on furniture. We waited until our children were grown before we bought anything really nice. Now, we have Jordan so I am sure the nice furniture will not look so nice once he is walking. it is ok though, you have to expect it with kids. Thanks for sharing the information.
Too bad it scratches so easily, that would annoy me.
Pine is a "soft" wood, called fatwood. It scratches very easily but it can be repaired. You can use a belt sander and sand this table, and either restain it, or coat it with a hard finish.
