Ordered the coffee table, end tables and console table on a Sunday. Received the coffee table on Tuesday, and the other pieces on Wednesday. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. Packed very well. The external box was slightly damaged, so we were worried that the wood might be scratched, but everything was beautiful. The color is definitely dark, almost black. The coffee table does have wheels on it, which we did not see in the description anywhere. They actually work out well since we have this table in a room with carpet. I would recommend these pieces to others.
