We love this table so far!  We just took it out of the box and realized that it was missing the legs but we're hoping that mix up will be fixed soon.
The color is more brown than it shows in the picture, but it's still a wonderful dark brown.  There's some distressing on the top, so it's not a smooth top, but it's not too much distressing.  The kids could still use it to do their homework without making holes in their papers. It's a very heavy table, so you can tell that it's solid wood.  We're really looking forward to using this for big family events.
We did buy the chairs that go with the set separately and they were really easy to put together.  The fabric on the seats is less white and more of a tan mixed with white.  It looks like a sturdy material that will last for a while and the cushions are quite firm, though we can tell they will soften up with some use.
