This is a fantastic dining room set especially for the price. Real wood and heavy. Arrived on time packaged very well. No scratches or dings. 
Wood is a dark finish. Assembly was not simple however. Took about 5 hours and the chairs were the problem children of the set. It’s very hard to get the side screws in place to secure the seat to the frame. It takes two people, a power tool and a lot of arm strength. That being said we are very happy with the purchase.
