The set is exactly as pictured.  The table base is very heavy and sturdy.  The tabletop as well.  It is the perfect dining set for my dining room that has been unfurnished for five years!  This is a great value and the craftsmanship is beautiful.  The 2 piece leaf folds into the table and never has to be stored separately.  Since the chairs have no crossbars, we will need to check them occasionally to make sure the screws are holding properly.  The mix of cherry wood and black are a beautiful combination.  I am very happy and plan to make other purchases with Wayfair.  

Pros: Very durable table, love the craftsmanship and the color
Cons: Chairs are not as strong, but work because it is not our everyday dining set
