The dining set is perfect for my dine-in kitchen area.  The cherry wood top goes perfect with my cherry hardwood floors and the buttermilk color [off white] of the chairs and table pedestal match my coastal decor.  The chairs are very comfortable and I love the way the expanding leaf is hidden inside the table and not a separate piece.  It is a very heavy, solid piece and it only took my husband and I a couple of hours to put together.  The directions were pretty simple.
