I recently redecorated using a coastal rustic theme.  This table matches the touch of color I have introduced into the decor.  It is a muted teal blue (not bright as some pix show).  It is perfect.  It can appear to be more blue or green depending on the lighting and time of day. The seats are very firm and you sit pretty straight up in these chairs.  The color of the table top is a grey/brown, but more on the grey side. This dining table will not be used much, so I am not sure I would like this for a family table used daily.  I plan to get a cushion for the bench seat.  Overall, I love it especially for the price!
