I am very happy with this purchase. The set looks identical to the photo and the chairs are very comfortable to sit in. The wood is a rich espresso with warm undertones, and the cream-colored vinyl seats and faux marble insert are a nice compliment to keep the set from darkening up the room. My husband and father-in-law were able to assemble the entire set in a few hours. My only complaint, which is minor, is that the faux marble table insert definitely looks "faux" once you are sitting at the table. Away from the table, you can't really tell a difference. Regardless, for the price of this set, I still think it was a great purchase and it doesn't bother me enough to not think the set is lovely overall. The set is sturdy and attractive, and with it's easy to clean chairs, it will hopefully get us through the next several years with two children. Also, the set was well-packed and delivered without any flaws. The only thing missing was 1 of the 32 floor protectors that goes on the bottom of each chair leg. This piece is small enough that it could have gotten lost in the assembly mess and will probably cost a dollar or less to replace at Home Depot.
