It is a very nice combo.  The gray has a brownish tinthue. Its still gray, but it will make other gray items look blue. The assembly was very easy and all pieces were there.  Its only 60 long, so not a Thanksgiving-type of long table, but extremely useful for day to day meals. 6 people will be a little snug, and no room for anything but place settings. But if you have a buffet for serving dishes it will be just fine.
