This set looks great and works well in my limited space. The table went together quite easily, the chairs not so much. After many attempts two were still not quite square. Hopefully thick felt pads on the bottom of the legs will level them out. You get what you pay for and this is a fairly inexpensive set. For the price point we are happy, as it is impossible to find a quality smaller set. The metal is more a dark steel grey than black, which I prefered. The chairs are so dark they will look black or brown depending on your room. The table top is definitely a brown faux marble. The box was crushed and open on one end, from shipping. Two chair leg plugs were missing and there was some minor damage to the corner of the table top. Wayfair customer service was excellent and will be shipping out replacement parts soon. Five stars for customer service! Bottom line it was better than I expected and fabulous customer service!
