Received well packaged and without blemish. All items clearly marked for assembly. Color is that of a rustic dark wood. Love side hooks, didn’t notice that in description. Top shelf is a little small, but doable. That’s a 4x6 framed pic in my pic. Definitely will need to use anti-toppling hardware which is included. Took a good little while to put together by myself, but I am a meticulous instruction reader with some OCD tendencies. Hooks are sturdy. My only concerns are that the metal uprights were mislabeled in the instructionspackaging and had to be switched. Also, connecting the uprights correctly (2 metal to metal connections on each)  required some patience. Love it though!
