I love the unit.  However, the color was darker than I anticipated.  I had received one box of three when I first ordered the unit.  The other 2 boxes I should have received were out of stock.  So I had to wait for a whole new order -- when it arrived we made the comparison between the first order and the second and there definitely was a difference -- the first order being lighter wood than the second order.   However, not wanting to go through yet another delay, I decided to keep it.  It is a lovely unit other than the color discrepancy.
