This is exactly as pictured. The color of the wood is "greige" with a touch of white wash, not a dark brown.  The quality is good considering the price but the metal trim could be a bit more distressed to compliment to the wood.  It seems a bit shiny (in my opinion) but it is in my kitchen next too the stainless appliances so it goes well.  I got white glove shipping and I am glad as the guys who assembled it  for me struggled a bit getting the base put together.
