These matched our existing furniture perfectly. A previous customer had indicated they were a bit darker than the picture which was helpful to us because that is what we were looking for. So I would say the same, they are a bit darker than they appear in the picture. They arrived faster than expected and had a small dent in one of them, we contacted Wayfair and as always their customer service made it right. These were well worth the money, as they are much better quality than your pressboard type furniture. They are bigger than they appear in the picture but I looked at the measurements and they are what we needed for our space. Make sure you look at the measurements before you order.
