This table looks just as pictured in color. It is an espresso wood color. I purchased it for my foyer entryway but ultimately decided to put it in my cafe area instead. I could have put it behind my sofa or certainly in the foyer. The drawers are typical sliders. For the price you can only expect so much. I gave four stars because of a few wood blemishes. I can cover them with a furniture marker but  I am disappointed that I needed to do so right out of the box. Overall it is a  nice buy for the money and I am pleased .
