We really like the sideboard, it's beautiful and as described. It's a darker color, the pattern on the wood is a combination on brown and black. It's not the highest quality wood but for the price it looks good and is well built. The assembly for the most part is straightforward with well written instructions - it took us about 2 hours to assemble. A note of caution, when nailing in the backboard (behind the sideboard) be careful how you align it otherwise the nails will go straight through and come out the other side.

Apart from that issue, it's a nice piece for good price.
