We were looking for a "rustic chic" dining room set and came across this one, but it was on back order. Decided it was well worth the wait and we couldn't be happier! It is darker than in the pictures but we don't mind at all. Love the fact that it comes with a bench, 5 chairs, AND a leaf. Pottery barn quality without the high price. Free shipping and delivery too! So far so good! Hoping to make many memories at this table
