I bought this to go ina book we have to store my wool for crochet. I have the grey one it's a bit darker than the pictures which was fine for me, more elephant grey than silver grey.  I set an email alert because the colour was out of stock,  Wayfair emailed me and u placed the order. I did manage to assemble this by myself although another pair of hands would have been helpful it wasn't necessary.  It is a little smaller than I imagined but it does the job. Study little shelving unit. I'm  wary happy with my purchase
