I loved this item the minute I saw it online and even more now that it's sitting in my dinning room. I was a bit nervous about the color as some of the images looked really light, but once I received the item it was perfect.  The color matched my walnut dinning table perfectly.  I would recommend however that the height in the product information be updated to show 32" instead of 34".  From reading some of the other comments the height is rarely 34".
