The table is very sturdy and seems well made.  I wish it was a few inches higher (my personal preference) but I knew the height before I ordered it.  I love the detailed top.  The color is darker than what my computer screen indicated but I was completely fine with that.  It has a little variation in color from medium brown to an espresso color.  It was easy to put together so I have no complaints.  It even got delivered before the original delivery date!
