This table is AMAZING! For the price, you can't beat the quality. It is heavy and sturdy. It didn't take long to assemble. It is so classy! I would describe the color of the finish as driftwood. It's a medium grayish brown color. It's exactly what we were hoping for! When we first ordered it, I was worried it would be too light, but then I read reviews and decided to order it hoping it would be darker than the pictures. It fits perfectly with our home decor (coastal/nautical).
