Great size and color. Up close, it is obviously not solid wood, but just has a wood veneer on top. My husband and I eat dinner in front of the T.V. almost every night, so the raisable top is excellent for that. I also love the storage space underneath the top. We keep our board games there. I have not found the storage space on the outside (bottom) to be particularly useful because they're pretty shallow, so we don't have any decor in there.
