Is the table top sturdy. Does the blue paint chip easily ?. Trying to decide between this and the Stiga 185.

Yes table top is sturdy and no paint has chipped since buying 2 years ago. I'm happy with purchase and recommend. No regrets

I only got it about one month. It is pretty good now. No chip. When istalling, my husband scratched the side a little bit with some hard tool. You could see that the paint is not thick but pretty stable.

The table top seems sturdy enough for the price. We bought it for grandchildren to use, they are not here frequently. In short - hasn't been used enough to tell how paint would stand up to regular use. Sorry!

It is a great table top for everyday use! I've been so happy with it! Since it was going to be part of our 'furniture' and living space I wanted something nearly indestructible with my grandbabies (and me) making crafts, having dinner, throwing our stuff on it when we get home, etc... It has a natural looking 'scratch' and rustic surface but smooth enough to keep clean. If my granddaughters left paint or ink stains on it, I cannot see it at all! I recommend it and it looks like you are getting it for a better price than when I bought it so snatch it up quick! Hope this helps!

yes this is true. the top is like a manufactured press board, but is disguised well by the finish. the frame I believe is iron and super sturdy and strong. we went to local glass company and had tempered gass top made. if you do this the table will last forever. the table actually has a classy look to it.

I have had mine about a year. So far it is very sturdy. I use it daily as I have no other table.

I haven't experimented with other tables. I made my own table top out of phenolic, and I absolutely love it! I did it that way to cut on the overall cost. If you visit the jessem website, you'll see the table top is pretty nice, but expensive. The jessem website is very helpful.

VERY sturdy table. We use ours in our work lunch room and it gets some heavy use. It still looks good and I'm still getting compliments on it's appearance. I did put a coat of Johnson's Paste Wax on the top when it first arrived. I polishes up beautifully and has a durable finish. I did a lot of shopping before buying this table and it is the best quality I found, it's even better than many that were more expensive. This is a great table and you will surely be pleased with it too.

I bought my table around two years ago. I use it every day and no problems so far. I feel it was a great buy.

After about 1 year, the metal frame is good as new. The paint has gone from shiny to dull, but no rust is evident. The tables (I have three) are in a relatively dry part of the country. Intense sun, heat, and cold are the norm.

We have had this dresser for 3 months and haven't had any paint chip off. However, I have noticed that it scratches somewhat easily. Despite this, I am very happy with the dresser and do not regret getting it. We also have the Hudson crib and they pair really nicely together. The dresser is easy to use (no fussy knobs to yank - important when you are diving for a change of clothes!) and the changing table top is very convenient. The whole layout is very user friendly, plus it looks good!

Hi hba864, As long as you were comfortable sitting while you paint. It is designed to be a light duty drafting table. I used this table to hold a heavy old style computer and it had no issues. Painting should be fine!

I would say so. It's a very well put together table, very solid. And has held up well. For the money, and I searched, it's tough to beat. It's not too light weight if that's your concern.

I have used the top as a work surface. It is actually holding up really, really well. We have left wet wine glasses on it, served buffet of food on it, and it looks brand new. We are very pleased.

It is solid wood, not laminate, so it WOULD be damaged (as any nice table would be) if you don't blot up a spill promptly. We love this little table, so don't be deterred. Keep coasters handy and put your drinks on them.

BP, Thank you for your interest in the STIGA Triumph! This table comes unassembled, so it is easy to transport it into its intended location and assemble on the spot. The table features QuickPlay so assembly only takes about 20 minutes. Hope this helps! STIGA

This tabletop is very sturdy. It does scratch when actually using it as a cutting board, but I just refrain from doing that.
