I ordered the table and matching bench. While I understand they are technically separate items, they were ordered together. I also understand there can be  variations in the wood grain and colour. However, when 2 items are clearly being ordered as a set, it would have been better business practice to at least choose and ship bench that has similar coloration to the table. The table is entirely a combination of light (yellowish) and brown wood tones but the bench is entirely darker brown and grey tones. I could have tried to return the bench and ordered another in hopes of receiving a better match but frankly if it didn’t happen when they were ordered together, it was highly unlikely to happen randomly. Not to mention the weight and cumbersome size making a return difficult and expensive. On the plus side, both pieces are solid, well made and beautiful so I only deducted one star for the mismatch.
