This table is pretty good and the color is actually a lot lighter than what is shown in the picture. Very very easy to build, took me about 5 minutes to set it up. The really sad thing though is that there are two cracks on the wood panels in the front. Given the location, they are quite visible. The pain of getting this exchanged is far more for me, than doing something to cover up those cracks so I am going to try and figure out a solution. Maybe I was just unlucky, but really, apart from this, the table is definitely a good buy.
