The dark gray color is great and as shown, but it was very difficult to put together (and I’ve put together a lot of furniture!) and even after spending a lot of time and effort it’s crooked. You’re getting what you pay for, but based on the effort vs. what it looks like, would not buy again. Not too scratched on opening but it’s a material that will be easily marked. Since it’s not in a high traffic area, I think I can hide the crooked until I find something more sturdy.
