Color is good with my décor; it is a medium dark color as described. Chairs are sturdy and comfortable; took a little time to assemble (6 chairs) but easy enough. Haven't assembled the table as yet but it is very heavy and solid wood (reminds me of a Viking table!) but do appreciate the workmanship. Packaged well and undamaged in shipment. Look forward to getting it upright because it will be the perfect table in my dining room.
