The color is NOT the brighter mid blue in the picture, it’s a very dark navy - almost black. The design is great, though slightly lower in height then I’d wish. One of ours arrived with the back and the shelf broken off. (Wayfair immediately replaced! ) While it seems sturdy enough when it’s not broken, you can see from the jumble of broken boards that it’s mostly made from flimsy  particleboard. Would be impossible to repair. Even for a relatively inexpensive ($350) nightstand, I’d expect better. But it is a great look for light use
