I bought this TV stand and when it arrived a piece was broken off and  it had a permanent black magic marker dot right on the front.  The color is not the vibrant gray it shows. It looks more brown than gray when you take it out of the box. The only way it looks gray is if you take a picture with the flash on. Included pictures.  It is a beautiful stand, and the fireplace works well, but disappointing it was not the gray I wanted. The heater vent  does get hot , so if you have a baby you might have to watch them.
