"Tone" of the wood is completely different than pictured.  If you are looking for a "natural" wood don't be misled.  This is VERY gray!  I should have looked at different pictures from different websites that are true to the finish.  So sad this didn't work because the measurements, style, price, and reviews seemed exactly what we needed.  Would recommend Birch Lane update their photos.  **Customer Service was impeccable though and will continue to order from Birch Lane....with a little more review of photos!**
