Color is great--matches aged cherry pieces from Room & Board. It took a pretty long time to put together, but it got there. One cam lock will not go in, but it seems to be pretty sturdy without it. It is not totally sturdy, but I am mostly using it as a stand--not as a actively used table. I got it on sale for just over $150 which is why I gave it 5 stars. For that price, it is great.
