The table is exactly as pictured in color and having the lower shelf for magazines, laptop and remotes leaves the top shelf for pretty stuff. It was hard to put together because the screws were not predrilled and they were not angled so you were working really hard to drive them in by hand in a very tight space. If you have a really long bit you could use a screw gun and save your knuckles the bang ups.

Pros: Just like photo, 
Cons: Hard to assemble
