welcome to CGtalk, glad to have you here, good image so far placement of the light good for the reflection although as kiwi pointed out your materials a little too clean, my main crit though is more about the shadow, its too soft making the table sort of float a little and looks really odd too. I would changeyour light angle, increase the mapsize (unless you wanna use an area shadow being a still image the render time shouldn't be bad.) and change the bias a little on the shadow.

Other wise good stuff not a bad start at all.

Welcome!

Cool looking table and stools. It would look cool in a modern/retro looking diner.

welcome Shoey14,
IMO you just need an environment to get it closer to reality...but we still wait for your improvement.

Ciao

I would like to say , Welcome with a good piece of work. :D

but about the chrome thingy, yes i agree using the dirty or scratched texture to emulate that "hey this stuff has been here for year" feeling. try it, u will sure like these.

I looked for Dirty Nuts but only found one for Sla 2.5.2 and thats for xl v7.3 and I've got xl v7.2 I know about the 20meg update to xl but I'm stuck with a 56k modem for now. But after all that I played around with my chrome shader (nukei modified) added some noise bump map and this is what I came up with, maybe the bump is a over the top but I kind of like it. please let me know what you think, the background is just a quick temp setup.
