This is not a solid wood nightstand, however at this price point you are not going to find anything hardwood. This nightstand appears exactly as it does in the pictures and anyone whom has put together any engineered wood pieces before will be set it probably took me a casual hour to complete with a hand from another. It is definitely grey, not a 'brownish grey' or any other variant it is a grey/black woodgrain pattern on a sturdy nightstand.  

Pros: Modern Appearance, Great Grey Color, Easy to Assemble
