I love this nightstand! The color was exactly what I expected, it's simple yet sophisticated and elegant.  Used for my small guest room that has mostly brass, I chose to change the hardware.   Having done that before to inexpensive furniture, I know that at times it may strip the wood, but this is a well made, heavy piece.  There seemed to have been a problem with the delivery, but Wayfair caught it before I even tracked my package and fixed the problem immediately and even gave me a coupon for my slight inconvenience.  i highly recommend this piece.
