The photos and description of this item are accurate, in that the color and style is exactly as expected. 
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that yes, it is heavy, which is fine and actually preferable because the coffee table can double as a regular table and needs that extra weight to be sturdy, but the weight distribution is a little off and it takes a bit of effort and perfect angle to extend the top out without accidentally pushing the entire table around.
