This is a very beautiful table.  Exactly as pictured.  The legs are metal/black.  The top piece does look like solid wood.  The two-toned color adds to it's beauty.  The top area is quite big as described; 28".  Once I put it next to my sofa it looked massive, so be prepared for that; but it's growing on me.  It definitely makes a statement because of its beauty.  Very easy to assemble.  Just follow the directions.  Attached legs & bottom table leaving all screws loose and then tighten all at once.  Flip and voila! 

Pros: Beautiful end table. Easy to assemble.  Well made.
Cons: Very large top area.  Wish it was a little smaller.
