I love this set. It's beautiful and comfortable and perfectly sized for my little dining room. The wood is darker than the picture, which I had anticipated, and the true color is exactly what I had hoped. It came in lots of pieces, but was fairly easy to set up and arrived very quickly. The only flaw is that the finish on it is not very robust and so it requires a table cloth to protect it from heat and scratching. I plan to give it a finish coat when the weather warms up and hopefully then it will last many years.
