I am satisfied with this table set for my kitchen nook. Price was cheap so I didn't expect it to be top quality furniture. Easy to put together, there were a few minor nicks and flaws that I easily covered up with furniture marking pens or otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. I shopped locally plus online for weeks, this ended up being exactly what I wanted. Color is a warm dark brown with a reddish tint to it so it does look like stained wood, not simply painted brown.
