This Is Nice For The Price. My Table Was Delivered Today And I Have Already Assembled It. Good Instructions And The Table Is As Advertised. It Is A Very Dark Brown. It Pairs Nicely With An Espresso Tv Stand That I Already Had. This Isn'T What I Would Call Glossy, But It Does Have A Sheen To It. I'M Very Happy With My Purchase. I Picked Mine Up On Clearance As It Was Out Of Stock So I Got It At Half The Price. I Was Hesitant As I Though There Would Be Some Sort Of Minor Damage, But It Is Brand New. There Were No Visible Marks Or Dings Of Any Kind That I Can Detect. The Only Issue That I Have Is One Screw Did Not Line Up, But The Other 3 Lined Up And I Was Able To Tighten Them Up Securely. It Was A Very Minor Issue And Does Not Take Away From The Security Or Enjoyment Of The Piece. I Think I'Ll Be Stalking The Clearance Selections More Closely :)
