This table is more of a greenish gray paint than a stain and its much lighter than the picture shown.  It looks like the wood was scratched up and then painted over.  The fabric and the table top don't really match either. The bolts to the table and chairs won't stay tight I'm constantly tightening them.  The finish is already coming off the top and I have kept a table cloth on it for most of the time I have owned it even.  I Want to love this set.  I love the look, but not the poor quality!
