I bought this unit because of it's gray color, however, it is not at all that color in person. It is brown. The unit is difficult to put together so I hired someone to do it for me - I was not happy to see that it came with various bumps and bruises. For the price I tolerate it because disassembling and returning just doesn't make sense. It is a nice looking piece, fits my room well and the quality is good for the price, just not what I expected.
