The wood looks "light" almost yellow in the picture, but it is more of a taupe grey.  This actually worked out well because it matched the room better, but be aware the wood may be darker than pictured.   It was easy to assemble and looks nice.  It is noticeably smaller than a typical end table, but you should already know that if you checked the specs. 

Pros: Cheap, looks nice, easy to assemble
Cons: wood is darker than pictured
