This is a well-constructed, substantial bureau - I do agree with other reviewers that the actual color differs from the photo on J&M's website - I wanted the finish to show more of a grey/brown color but mine is a straight matte cocoa - still pretty but not what I was hoping for - please note that if you order this or any big/heavy piece of furniture that you will want to look at the delivery part of this website carefully - they charge another fee for positioning the box in another room, other than inside the front door - and if you want help unpacking, that's an additional charge - heads-up...
