I have a small apartment and was afraid it was going to be too big.  It fits quite nicely.  I ordered the espresso color and it's definitely dark, almost black.  Other reviewers mentioned that it was low to the floor.  I didn't find it to be a problem, but I haven't had tall friends over yet to know for sure.  

I paid extra to have it delivered and put together.  I'm so glad I did.  The guys arrived in the allotted time frame and called a half hour ahead.  They had it together in about an hour.  While I'm pretty handy, it would have taken me a lot longer to do it, and I would have run out of patience.  Assembly was quite a puzzle. The delivery men were respectful and pleasant to chat with.
