This table was exactly as described, and had a very dark wood finish with nice grain visible in the top and shelf.   We love the look, which suggests a bit of art deco, and the size is perfect in front of a 96 inch sofa.  Assembly was simple; requiring about 15 minutes to install the 12 volts and lock washers with the included Allen wrench.  It was well packaged, and came in typical Wayfair style, which is to say it shipped immediately and arrived a day early.  All in all a nice piece of furniture and well worth the price.
