I love the look of this dinette set.  I purchased the white with natural oak.  It looks fabulous and the chairs are very comfortable, but the style of the table finishes the look quite well!  Honestly, I didn't think about the implications of white chairs, but I purchased some Scotch Guard to help maintain them.  If I had it to do over, I would still get the white chairs, they look wonderful.   Assembly:  The first chair took me some extra time to get together, but after I figured out the technique, they all came together easily.  The table was a piece of cake.
