I bought two in gray, for each side of my fireplace, love them!  Agree with the funny 'small hands needed' comments, it was tight, but manageable.  And it's true it will take longer to open the box (hint, cut the white supports out), then to assemble. I really love that it's real wood, unheard of at this price.  For anyone concerned about the color, look up Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter, or Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray,  it's kind of a putty gray.  Mine had no flaws, no bad marks, they're perfect.
