The description and color are accurate to what is stated online.  I love the multiple compartments for storage and the lift table.  This is a very sturdy and solid piece of furniture.  I also purchased the end tables and I am thus far pleased with this set.  I have one con.  I don't understand why companies have to place any sort of sticker, regardless of it being a warning sticker, in a place that is visible and one that is extremely hard to remove.  I now have a glue residue on part of the table.  I'm hoping that a little elbow grease will do the trick.
