First of all add photos with your reviews. This is what helped me buy this purchase site unseen.  Color is great, a grayish brown. Solid wood, sturdy, looks very similar to a high end competitor that had super long delivery times. Delivery time was fast. Great job Wayfair. My five year old and I put this together in a couple hours. I’d recommend a drill. The solid wood makes it super heavy so you may need two adults to do the lifting. The cracks in the table do catch food and crumbs but I knew this in advance and have a air can to deal with this. There was one small crack in my table but not enough to send it back. Great solid, high end looking purchase. Recommend
