It works as a bar cart in the corner of my room. The quality is not the best - but hey, you get what you paid for! There is somehow spray paint on the glass - so i'm assuming it was assembled when they painted it? The color is a darker bronze and textured. The glass parts are great, however! Unfortunately, the screws used for assembly aren't very strong and strip easily, even with the allen wrench provided. Even two screws were already stripped upon arrival. Despite these flaws, I will be keeping it.
