Hello- I've had a Baronet dining table previously. It's seems they provide a "thicker" veneer on their products...mind you it's only millimeters, but none the less they claim their veneers are thicker than most. They say that it is thicker for the reason that if the veneer gets scratched you'd be able to sand it down a bit without going through the veneer and onto the frame. I've not tried this yet so this would be for you to try at your own discretion. The base or framing of the table and other pieces is solid maple so the table itself is very sturdy and looks and feels of good solid materials. As far as cleaners are concerned, Baronet recommends not using any type of chemical cleaner on their furniture. What I did was use a warm, slightly damp cloth and wiped dry any moisture left behind. And, on ocassion, I'd use a Lysol wipe to clean the surface as well. This was only done maybe twice a week. The finish on the table never seemed to have any effect with the wipes. So, with this said, I guess your best bet is to do some comparisons between tables you're deciding to get and compare materials used. I hope this helps you out a bit.
