This is a striking, functional addition to contemporary tastes. The coloring is a rich, dark chocolate. Assembly was easy enough and done solely alone with few instruction and product glitches.
It is heavy and durable enough for casual use but more for looks and accent. Extremely great price for the effect I was seeking vs. over priced furniture stores. 

Pros: Good storage and desplay areas. Sturdy and adequate for careful useage.
Cons: Tricky to obtain solid allignment of pieces.
