It's a nice looking unit. The color is definitely NOT brown...I thought it would be a dark chocolate brown, but it looks like it's black...luckily it goes with the deco of the room. Overall it's serving it's purpose, at least for now...and for $126 bucks, I'll have to say I'm happy. Not the greatest quality, but that was to be expected. Also, the backboard was cracked, which could've happened during shipping.  But it happened on a spot that doesn't show, so I didn't bother getting it replaced.
