I bought this table in the black because I was too impatient to wait for the espresso to come back in stock, which I regret a little bit but that's my own fault. The black is nice but I think the espresso would look a little classier. The quality is better than I expected, although 3 of the legs had imperfections those sides all face the back so they are completely unnoticeable. I did not think this was simple to put together, I started it myself but had to wait for my husband to come home to finish it :) Nothing he couldn't handle though! Overall this was a great purchase, very happy with Wayfair!
