I love my new table set! I recieved this item in less than a week. I put the table and chairs together in about two hours. Husband helpes d only with turing the table upright. I love the modern look! It seems sturdy and should last a while. I have only had for a couple of days now but seems great. Its not real wood but looks fantastic!  The color has some slight gray undertones making it look some ash instead all blonde like the pics show, i absolutely love it! My old set was solid oak, going on 12 years and going strong... with an outdated look and a much need for refinishing. Who has time for that?!?!?  Great purchase, great price!  This is my first purchase from joss and main but will have more!
