The cabinet is a great size for a larger living or dining room.  The color is as pictured but remember that picture was taken in a bright or full light setting.  I was able to put the cabinet together myself in about 30 minutes.  I did have a little trouble getting things to line up just right and had to loosen a few screws and shift the cabinet a little to get everything just right.  The latch mechanisms for the doors are already installed and it took probably a week or two for the off gassing to subside.  Love it!
