Colour as expected, good finish, and sturdy. Only disappointment is that the two screws holding to wall are bright metal against the mid grey colour, not attractive as they are seen even with coats on hooks!! Now I need to find couple of little decorative buttons or something to cover. Plugs to match the woodwork and cover screwheads would have been ideal, it's not like it was really cheap badly made item. Or just use dark metal screws!!
