Espresso Cafe Dining Set

Just purchased this 3pc Espresso Cafe Dining Set and couldn't wait to put it together and see how it looked and felt in our small apartment. When it arrived, I was thrilled at the look and feel of this set, and I am SO glad I bought it from Overstock.com. My husband put the whole set together in about an hour or so, and it did come with extra brackets that weren't needed. (Not sure, but I think they were for a different set altogether). We live in a very small Manhattan apartment (aren't they all?) and it fit perfectly into the small space that we have allocated. It doesn't take up a big "footprint" as they say, but yet the table is large enough to VERY comfortably and easily accomodate place settings for 2, and the 2 parsons chairs are lovely to look at, and also comfy to sit in. They are padded nicely, both on the seat and the backing, and overall the set resembles the much more expensive leather ones for a fraction of the cost. We have a very modern decor, and apartment, and at first I was a tad bit apprehensive about the dark color of the set; the table and chair legs are a very dark espresso brown, (almost black) and the vinyl chair upholstery is absolutely black (with white stitch trim around the edges and down the center of the chairbacks which they don't show in the photo), and I was concerned that with our very light floors and walls, and overall decor, the set might "clash" or look too dark or somehow overwhelm our space, but in actuality, it only added a feel of sophisticated elegance, and class, and perhaps a bit of a masculine touch which I find appealing... VERY MODERN! Again, I am extremey happy with my purchase, and especially the price! I would highly recommend this set to anyone looking for a small 3 pc dinette set for their small apartment or homes, as it looks MUCH more expensive than it was!
