Great set for the price. I saw similar tables selling for twice the price without the stools. It doesn't look high end but not cheap either. The wood is a bit darker than the picture looks. It's a warm, medium neutral that will be fine with as a transition between various woods, like cherry, oak, and dark espresso. to look good with  The stools are wide and as comfortable as a flat wood can be. The legs on both the table & stools are study. There was some scuffing on the legs of the table but not very noticeable. I did not give it 5 stars because of the poor, non-existent instructions. It is easy to figure out but the buyer should not have to wing it.
