I purchased this table because I liked the round wooden tabletop with the black accent band.  Once I received the product it was a slightly different color from the picture.  The picture shows much lighter.  As it turned out the chairs I purchased to pair with the table ended up being almost the same color and I would say it is more of a tan/beige. The picture looks like a white wood. The table is very sturdy, heavy.  Very nice.  Possibly needs a little something to seal the bare wood.  I haven't done anything to mine just yet but may just apply a beeswax or a sealant, haven't decided.  Very happy with my purchase.
