I purchased the Retro End Table with the intention of using it in my main living room (we have 3). The description and stock photos made this appear much more natural in color with brown undertones. As you can see from my photos, my couches are a very light linen and highlight the discrepancy in the table's character. The item I received was much more gray than brown/oak/walnut. It was very easy to assemble, once you figure out which direction the legs go, and only took about 10-15 minutes. Shipping was prompt, delivery smooth. For the affordable price of this table, I'm going to use it in a different room in my house where it will better fit.
