It is more gray than taupe... But thats what I was hoping for based on the other comments. Our theme is navy, brown, gray and pale pink. It actually fits in perfectly. Its the perfect size as well. Fits perfect between two windows and fits our internet modem as well (which is why we bought it). Easy to put together and take apart which is nice for our military moving lifestyle.  Its also a pretty stout little table. Were very happy with it.
