The honey brown color is more impressive in person. I have bought a great deal of furniture from wayfair and this was the most well packaged shipment I have seen. The entire box was reinforced. It took me 10 minutes easily just to get it out of the package. Which is all the difference to me when other shipments are coming with scratches and dents from poor packaging. I know the company here on wayfair is Modern Farmohouse, but the directions came from a supplier called Jofran. Which is common. Many companies use the same supplier. I am going to be looking for Jofran stuff because this was way better than I expected in terms of quality and it was shipped with care.
