The color of the wood grain is beautiful.  Warm, yet neutral.  The legs are a dull gold.  Not my usual color choice, but I like it.  My only dislike is that the configuration you see is really the only way to arrange the plant stand  I was hoping that I could arrange it in a more side-by-side fashion.  This would work well in a corner. It says "30lb limit", in case you need that. (WHOA!  that would be a heavy plant!)
