I got this in the gunmetal finish and I do not recommend getting it in that one. The color is as pictured, which is perfect. The problem is that it is the type of paint that has a slight texture to it and it was scratched in several places just from rubbing on the plastic it was wrapped in for shipping. It was easy to scratch with my fingernail when I tested it in an inconspicuous place just to see what was going on. It's sort of like when paint isn't quite dry if that makes sense, although it is completely dry. Other than that, it's exactly what I expected and fits the space perfectly. The top is pre-assembled real wood and feels substantial. It was very easy to assemble by myself. I had one bolt that wouldn't go all the way in, but it is fine without it. I'd say overall it is pretty sturdy for a long narrow table.
