Was so happy when the table came! Other reviews are correct, the table isn't grey, but that is one of the reasons we bought it. It definitely is a dark "reclaimed" wood look. It's very sturdy and a heavy weight. I bought 6 chairs and the bench and even without the leaf I can use all 6 chairs and the bench, 3 chairs on one side and the bench and 1 chair on the other. I'm going to order two more chairs to use when the leaf is in since we have a big extended family. Couldn't be happier with the quality of the table for the price. Have had a lot of compliments!
