This is a very attractive TV stand. The white area all opens as drawers and provides great storage space. The open area is great for the TV box so it gets remote signal. I'd say the wood is very very brown to almost black. It is heavy so I recommend getting the delivery option where they bring it into the room where it will be located. I had to bring it up a set of stairs and that was a huge hassle. Overall it is very solid and feels much more substantial than some furniture I have ordered online.
