Love this set! I ordered it in the espresso color and it's a beautiful dark wood. Definitely darker than the photo of it in the sunlight, but I don't know who'd expect it to look just like that. The chairs are as cute as the picture makes them out to be. The assembly was a little challenging but we figured it out in about an hour and a half (all nuts and bolts and screws included). One thing I'd like to say--the tabletop on this set was scratched when it arrived. It literally looked like someone took a box cutter and took a swipe at our table. I called Wayfair expecting very little to happen and Heather from customer service took care of everything. As soon as I told her what happened she was super sympathetic and ordered us a new tabletop to replace the damaged one. I was nervous to order from this site at first ($250 on a furniture set is the most I've spent on any one thing in my life thus far) but you can rest easy with Wayfair. They will take care of any replacement you may need.
