I was slightly disappointed by this purchase. As I read in another review, the color is definitely darker than shown in this picture. I believe it is not as attractive as it is in the photo. The finish gives it a "cheap" look. I realize that for the price it is not solid wood but the lighter color gives it a more "expensive" look. The good news is that is does weigh over 100 lbs so it it is not flimsy like many cheap tables but sits very solid. I am using it in my hallway as a console table. I had purchased the Providence console table for that space but decided to use that next to my couch instead. I was VERY pleased with that purchase...it looks and matches my Pottery Barn furniture very well. I am sorry that I didn't purchase a second one for this space as well. I do not recommend the purchase of the Tanner table.
