The order came early. There is no red tint to the color which is depicted in the picture. The table is chocolate brown just like the ad says. Assembly was uncomplicated and easy. The only negative was that I almost threw away the screws and bolts with the packing material. I stuffed all the material back in the box and thought the screws and bolts were missing. I hunted through the box and discovered a small plastic bag taped to the underside of a piece of styrofoam. It would have been much better to have taped the bag of screws and bolts to the underside of the table top which would have been seen immediately because table must be upside down for assembly. I love the look of the table. It's the perfect size for the room and looks very stylish. And, the price was better than competitors.
