As one reviewer commented, the color is a bit grayish, but I don't think it's too far off from what the pictures show. Also, note that it is oval (as the description indicates) and not round. The perspective on the images made it look like it was more round than literally oval, and I was an idiot and didn't pay that much attention to the written description. The oval fits better in my space anyway, so not a big deal. Delivery was quick and it was simple to assemble. I've only had it for a few weeks, but it seems sturdy and well made. It's a versatile piece, so even if you're not sure where to put it, you'll find somewhere! I use it in place of a coffee table and topped it with a mirrored tray.
