What an AMAZING piece. The color Understated. It is a beautiful, muted, blue-leaning teal that just lights up my dining room. Perfect size too, given how much room there is inside. The setup was pretty standard for furniture of this size - took some time, but the instructions were super easy to follow. My husband and I couldnt help commenting on its sturdiness - it really is one of the best pieces Ive purchased from Wayfair. I smile every time I look at it. 1010! You will not regret it!!
