The color was exactly as shown.  Took about one hour to put together with two people.  Very sturdy, masculine and great quality for the price.  Holes for attaching to the bed frame were not pre drilled all the way through, but that was an easy fix.  There are no bolts included to attach to the bed frame.  Arrived early and packaged very good which meant there were no flaws or scratches.  Excellent product for the money.
