The chairs and table went together very well.  Defintely need two adults as the table is very solid and heavy.  The chairs are too low for this table but are attractive and adequately comfortable.  We will replace the chairs at a later date but for now are shopping for chair pads that can help raise us up so we aren't sitting so low.  I am 5'6" and my husband is 6' so we are not short people.  The dark grey is a rich color.
