This table did work extremely well in our living room but it was darker than what I saw at the store, which is why I am giving it 4 stars.  I know the coloring on websites are always a bit different so I made sure to go and see it first in the store before ordering on line, just to be sure, so I was surprised to receive what appears to be a different version of wood.  However, we are keeping it and it was extremely easy to assemble.
