This item is absolutely beautiful very sturdy piece of furniture!  The brown is much darker than the picture looks which I am so glad was hoping it would be that way to match the rest of my furniture! My husband and I put this together assembly is not too bad the packaging on this piece of furniture was very good keeping it from getting any  scratches￼￼!  Love my new coffee table!!  Wanted solid wood not pressboard and Wayfair has not let me down!
