Either the wrong color delivered or the pics on the site are inaccurate and too light. It's darker than I expected. Damaged bottom shelf with long cracks present on unpacking. Flimsy. Hard to assemble - I couldn't do it by myself. Easily damaged during assembly. Would not buy again. I assembled it only because I needed to clean up a room in a hurry, but I won't keep it - too unstable and doesn't hold much weight safely. I'd say decorative use only - not books or anything substantial.
