This is even better then the picture. I love the natural wood. I know some have commented  about the uneven texture but I think that is what adds to the charm. Furthermore reclaim wood is suppose to have character. The color of the wood is rich tones of chocolate brown and warm brown. It's the perfect size and was easy to assemble. All I had to do was fold down the leg, slide in the shelve and screw on the handle. This tv stand is a great investment.
