Love this coffee table. It was an easy one person assembly. Seems sturdy and the color is a pretty honey brown with some darker color variations. NOT a solid wood, but a pressed wood with laminate finish. But serves my purpose. The lid lifts and locks which serves as a great task table or for the kids’ snacks during movie night! It also came with the gray baskets, they are also a poly material and not a grassrattan. Overall I’m really happy with this table.
