Even nicer in person.  The wood is solid.  It does not look or feel cheap at all.    The colors are dark as others posted but thats fine with me.  Very nice.  Just got it so not sure of the longevity.  Hint for assembly - you need to loosen the bolts on the black metal back of the chair in order to line up the seat and back screw holes.  I was able to assemble all chairs and table myself (5'4", 120 lbs) but I will tell you the table is heavy and it recommends two people.
