This is a heavy, sturdy table.  VERY easy to assemble.  The top is a very dark grey, legs are black.  The top is assembled with planks of wood which makes the top have grooves and some uneven surfaces, giving it and more rustic look.  They have attempted to make worm holes on the top but they are actually drilled round holes! There aren't so many that it becomes a big negative, but they could have left that off!!  The top is not totally smooth, so don't purchase if you need a really smooth surface.  If you are looking for a sturdy table with a farmhouse/country look, it will be a great choice.
