Is the white finish durable enough to withstand use with 4 children ages 2-9? I am considering the 7-piece set by the same manufaturer.

I purchased this table about a year ago and it's in great shape. I don't have children, but the paint hasn't chipped or faded. I have to tell you though that the company I ordered it from I was disappointed with. It was very late and took forever to get here. When it finally did arrive after contacting them, it was damaged. It had a crack in the top. It's pretty heavy and I would also recommend having someone assist you with the assembly. I do love it though. Finding a table that height, size, style, color, and shape, was not an easy task for me. I hope you're happy if you do decide to get it though. Hope this helped.

I'm sorry to say NO!!! It's a nice set but would only last about 6 months with kids and then you would be embarrassed to have friends sit at it... It would show to many marks!! The cushions aren't stain proof either... I dropped something on one of the seats and immediately cleaned it off but it was still stained!!

My grandson, who is 7, and I built the set. We both worked together and made sure that that we put the model together correctly. There are a couple of tricky parts, but everything is clearly illustrated.

Yes, we have two girls under 10 and younger and the knobs still look like new. They look great in our home also and I still think they were a great buy. Sorry it took so long to answer.

If your child is not destructive it will last them. I got this for my 7yr old she loved it at first. Better for younger children. She lost interest fast.

I would say yes they are a great item for that age group just be sure to order an extra or two one of ours broke with in min or had a hole in it from the begining, but we still have a few around the house that have been going strong for a few months now so I think it may have just been a fluke with that one but be sure to have an extra one or two just in case as preschoolers are not going to understand it if they got the one in a hundred that is junk and there is no replacement.

Our has withstood hours of pretend kitchen and tea party play and our 3 yr old is not gentle! I think it will hold well without scratching. We have had for a year and has no scratches yet.

No. I have a 4 & 6 year olds who have abided it for as long as we have it and no breakage.

My two-and-a-half year old granddaughter has played with the set almost daily for the past year, and in looking it over, there are no dents that I can see. She pretends to cook in the pots and pans on her stove. She also hasn't broken her tea set pieces. I think it depends on how they are played with. They look as good as new.

Ours is holding up fine and I have 2 & 4 year old boys using it. Maybe you could find fun colored tape of some sort to wrap the remainder of the foam. Like the kind used on tennis rackets.

I love my Red Vanilla dinner ware! I do not have young children buty grandchildren have used them. We have had them for over two years and I couldn't be happier. They haven't chipped and knives and they are scratch resistant to knives. I broke one cup by dropping it oddly on the edge of the counter, I think. I'm very happy we bought them. Hope this helps...

I was planning on doing just that, but didn't end up buying a second set. If you look at the different sets, you'll see that they contain some of the same pieces. Fyi - I work at a school, and the kids loved playing with the set! Lots of opportunity for kids to analyze why a marble won't go through and then solve the problem. Fun family activity too!

I don't think I have the original packaging anymore, so I'm not sure who made the set or where, but it's China quality. I would guess that te set is good for ages 10 and up or so. You need good dexterity to use the tools.

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

I would think so; the pieces are quite sturdy. I bought for my 4 yr. old and it is fine.

I have 5 kids that used them and they did not break easily. Yes, a few of them ended up broken, but overall they're fairly thick and don't break easily.

I purchased this set as a gift, so I am unaware of their durability. I hope you are able to find the answer you are looking for.
