True color (I purchased the walnut) and great size for my 50” tv. Take your time building it as it has many pieces and the legs needed some minor adjustments to fit wood beams into slots.  They are pretty light weight pine panels and one of them did get split in it after the screws went in (it’s on the side and not noticeable nor did it cause structural problems) Overall I still think it’s worth the money if purchased on sale.
