The color is exactly as it appears in the photo. It was packaged very well to prevent damage. No assembly needed, unless you count the Wall anchor it comes with. 
It isn’t quite as solidly built as I expected but still good quality. It is a narrow cabinet, which is perfect for the space I am using it in! I am happy with the product!! Gave it four stars instead of 5 because of it not being as solid as I expected. But please don’t let that keep you from getting it.... it is still a great cabinet!!
