I love this Hall Tree, it looks just like the picture and the color is a beautiful mahogany. It was out of stock when I originally wanted to order it, but I was assured as soon as it was back in stock that I would be informed. I was informed around the date they stated, so I ordered right away and it was shipped to me in a matter of days. My husband put it together with no problem by following the easy instructions. I would highly recommend this beautiful piece of furniture.
