I followed advice from other reviewers and phoned Wayfair to make the order for the brown colour. I did receive the correct darker brown colour as ordered. Order arrived on schedule. Advise you unbox outside as the styrofoam disintegrates and is taped everywhere. It’s a pinky darkish taupe rather than a straight dark brown. It isn’t wood - it’s some sort of resin. It comes in a few parts and you screw them together - we’ll see how the threads hold up - I’m not 100 sure the metal screw of the lamp pieces screws into metal - I couldn’t see. Overall - very good for now. Four stars because of the material and colour.
