I received the table and chairs today. Opened the box and all the parts are there! Yay! I am not close to finishing, but I have noticed while there are no pre-drilled holes, to be able to start the screws for the stool leg braces, there are holes for the legs to bolt to the seat.  If you have a drill and drill bits you will be all set for this assembly. As others have noted, and it states in the specifications, this is wood based, with a 3D paper print of woodgrain stuck to the wood. It looks very nice, but with a lot of wear, I would expect the paper to begin peeling. I LOVE the linen fabric of the stool seat. I am so happy with this set right now. Very beautiful. I would say the color is a weathered wood look. Gray, brown, with a distressed look.  For the price, it is hard to beat!
