I’m actually pleased with the color , it’s not real wood (MDF) but the finish looks nice and the warmer gray -brown finish is nice . It’s a transitional piece , although it’s designed as a wine cabinet , it can easily be used in an office by removing or not installing the metal wine rack to use that area for a shredder or other office supplies . The taller height makes it perfect to hold a printer .  It would be great in a kitchen for a wine  coffee bar . It’s perfect for a decorative piece in a hallway or bathroom too . I’m not sure where I’ll use it yet as we’re moving out of state . I hope I’ll have room in my new house to set it up as a wine  coffee bar !
