It is darker than it appears in the picture, but is a beautiful set. I had asked a question on this set about the colors, and it took Wayfair about 36 hrs to respond. When they did respond, I went back into my cart and the price increased by $15.00. I sent an email and no one ever responded about the price increase. I kept looking on the site until the price was reduced again. Very happy with the purchase, but disappointed in the customer service!
