Love the functionality of this side table and does what we needed it to (stop the puppies running under an open side table and having the glass lamp and everything on the table come crashing down). It looks nice and seems like a quality real wood piece. The color is a light espresso. We did have an issue where some of the bottom pieces were cracked. It’s hard to see because we have a chair on one side and sofa on the other but still for the price it should be in perfect condition.That said, as usual, Wayfair was great! They offered several different options for us to choose to rectify the issues and that goes a long way in my book.
