This console table is exactly what I expected after reading reviews! It's a very, very dark brown (reads super dark espresso brown - almost black). I wanted a black set but the very dark brown works perfectly. This looks great behind my couch with the rest of the set - I got the console table, end tables (rectangle AND round), and coffee table. The whole set looks so nice together!! It's made of a durable material that I feel will last a long time.
