I purchased this Dining Set in Espresso and the finish is gorgeous. It's sturdy and built solid. I looked at many Dining sets and they are either made cheap or just ugly.  This Dining set will blend with any decor. I also ordered some Mojito Green Chair Cushions to accent this table and make it pop. Packaging was excellent ( 4 boxes ) and it only took me about 1 - 1/2 hours to assemble. Instructions are easy to follow.  You will not be disappointed.
