Crate is exactly as described and was good value for what I paid for it...got it on sale. Size is good for a small breed dog like I have, chihuahua.  Espresso color is a nice brown and faux wood grain is decent.  Crate went together easily by the directions with no issues. It is doable with one person but probably a little easier with two people. One small complaint I have is that the back panel has a sticker that is difficult to remove.  I have this crate in front of a window, so I will have to figure a way to get this off.  I wish manufacturers would not put that type of sticker on anything that is considered furniture.  I would recommend this product.
