Oh, how I wish this table worked! After looking for months, it arrived today. The finish is slightly more mahogany than espresso. Very dark, but slightly reddish. The top and base were all I received in my packaging, but the top is a nice wood veneer with veneered plywood apron. 

Customer service was amazing and very responsive when I called to report the shipping issue, and I would have reordered this piece if it had been in stock.  Hopefully others will get two boxes ( one for the top and base and one for the column) and love this table. It’s a nice size and finish, especially for the price.
