Looks exactly the same as the picture provided. I had just imagined it differently, like a much darker brown. This is one of those coffee tables where you really have to think before you buy. It doesn't just fit anywhere. You have to match it...I initially picked this one because I like to sit on the floor and stretch my legs out; so that's one perk. Anyway, this is a pretty cool coffee table with the drawers. I have scratches on it already from just putting letters/ magazines/ and whatever you put on table already, so make sure you use place-mats.
