I actually said "wow"as I unpacked this. It is beautiful. The pics don't do it justice. If you are like me and prefer real wood to 'lookalike' furniture.This is for you. Legs and shelves are made of sturdy solid wood. It is a heavy piece! No wobbling for this table. The finish is a perfect med/dark walnut. Not brown or the popular cappuccino.  A true walnut that I am happy to say matches perfectly with my other walnut finished furniture. Although the table is small..and I managed on my own, I do recommend having an extra pair of hands to help put it together.
