Color and materials are as shown. A bit difficult to put together but all the pieces are carefully laid out and instructions were clearly noted. Took me about three hours to assemble the table and two chairs. I'm fairly handy too. What I didn't like were the supplied "tools". I'd recommend a socket wrench to speed things along. Overall I'm happy with the set. And I appreciate very much that the chairs have self-leveling feet for uneven surfaces.
