It’s kind of crazy because I thought this TV stand was more of a green color, but it’s definitely grey. However the cabinets in my new apartment are practically the same color! They look great together. But just be forworned that it is grey. In terms in putting it together, my 25 year old friend who has a ton of energy and loves building stuff but this together in less than a half an hour. She said the instructions were easy to read and she had no problems.
