Love the stand.  Excellent value for price.
Colour is golden dark, not like the red tones that "cherry" makes you think. 

Con:  NOTE:   Extremely heavy piece of furniture.  If living in an Apartment, or home with steps, it takes a person at delivery site plus the delivery person to bring in....unless you arrange for 2 people to deliver if you are disabled (myself).

However, the piece is well worth it!
