I wondered about the trendiness of it but for all the people talking about "classic" I can tell you that nobody wants a house full of big brown furniture anymore. This is what's spawned the whole chalk paint/DIY paint your furniture trend. So that trend is over no matter how "classic."
OP don't do full sets--do pieces that you can swap in and out.

It's not fine, it's going to be very dated in 3, 2, 1....
Buy a lighter wood, or glass/marble/whatever appeals to you. Look, the grey wash is to 2020 what espresso wood was to 2000.
Don't do it.
Pottery Barn gray wash is fine. It's really challenging to find lighter wood that doesn't have a reddish or yellowish tint. Gray wash is neutral.
OP, if you like it, go for it. I buy things I like regardless of trend.
How old are you? I bet you haven't actually bought furniture through any trends yet.
