When I found this dining set at Overstock I really liked the looks of it. I was concerned about ordering something without seeing it first and having more information about it so I called Overstock Customer Care and asked alot of questions. I also looked around at other stores but just could not find anything I liked better. After a few weeks of trying to decide what to do I went ahead and ordered this one. I am very pleasantly pleased. I think it's beautiful and a heavy duty set. The hutch/buffet is especially gorgeous. The chairs in the picture online look like the cushions are white, however they are light beige. For me it turned out great because they match my couch perfectly. Also the metal is a brown/bronze color, not black as I was told but that worked out o.k. too since my light fixtures are bronze. The set is slightly distressed but I think it adds to the character of it. I also used the white glove service for delivery and I believe it was worth it since it was assembled for me and the deliverer and I went over the set to make sure everything was o.k. I believe this is a very nice set and I would recommend it.
