This came very quickly & was well-packed so kudos to Wayfair!  Unfortunately, the dark walnut is, indeed, dark ;-); darker than I wanted. I was reluctant to order it and was leaning toward the light oak but the pictures on the website of the dark walnut made it look lighter than it is in reality.  IMO, this table looks more like office furniture...a bit cheap.  I should have gone with my gut.... On the plus side, the clean lines of the design are nice and it seems like a sturdy table.
