This dining set was perfect for the space we had to work with. We love everything about it. We took a chance on the color, but it complements our living room/kitchen area and rug perfectly. We decided to put the bench under our kitchen island for seating - we are going to add a cushion for comfort and the four chairs fit nicely around the table. We typically don't order online, but decided we couldn't pass up this beautiful set and its great price. The entire process went like clockwork and now we have everything we need for the holidays!
