Haven't had this set long but I am very pleased with it so far. The color is as someone mentioned before, a little toward the mushroom color. Not a creamy or yellow tone. Chairs are comfortable and sturdy. The extra leaf stores inside which is really nice. It came packed well and I have found no defects. It took my husband and nephew a little under two hours to put together the table, 8 chairs and 2 barstools. I researched the product and it is made from Asian hardwoods and assembled in Vietnam. The wooden chair seats are a light, cherry color-very pretty. Pros: Sturdy and made well. Looks very nice. Great price for the quantity and quality. Cons: Haven't had long enough to find any yet.
