I have a 3 year old and 10 month old twins so i wanted a coffee table look but something that would be pretty baby/kid proof and store some toys. Color is as pictured. Seems like a soild piece of furniture. When I recieved it however it was scratched on the corners of the trays. As if the trays were banged around in shipping. I feel I paid a fair price so that is good. But I feel like if I purchase new furniture I want it new looking. Otherwise I would buy Craigslist. Thus 2 stars
