We went with the wood color, and it's an amazing piece of furniture -super solid and stylish. I would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option, only because 1) the hardware wasn't included in the original shipment and 2) there were minor scuffs on a couple of pieces. Not terrible! But, I expect perfection when taking a piece out of the box for the first time. I would recommend this item to anyone!
