I read another review which mentioned the table looks more gray. I think my table looks more brown with a hint of gray/whitewash. Pros: Well built for the price. My Rottweiler puppy has slammed into it twice without hurting it. I like the finish but I like a distressed look. There are spots that are very distressed, so if you don't like distressing, it won't be your style. It's also a good size. I don't feel like it's too big or small. Con: It took longer than I expected to put it together and not of the screw holes lined up. I never imagined one table like this would have so many screws. I feel like it's a good value overall and I think it should hold up over time.
