I'm so happy with this dining set. The quality is much better than expected for the price. It loses a star because, as some have noted, the screws to attach the seat cushions to the frame are too short. Go ahead and order the set, but pick up 24 #6 1 5/8" wood screws while you wait. (Six for each chair) The screws are cheap and will make the job much less frustrating.   I only have one chair in my picture because I got back late with the screws and need to finish tomorrow. :) I ordered the espresso set and the chair looks a little darker in some pics, but it's a nice chocolate brown.  No, it's not real marble, but for a few hindered bucks, it does the trick. The top is even cool to the touch, so maybe it'll fool your friends. Beautiful table and great deal. Speaking of friends, have some handy, the box weighs a lot!
