The console was supposed to be vintage gray--with a distressed look.  Unfortunately, the one I got is just plain-Jane gray--no antique look whatsoever.  The baskets shed when you pull them across the wood slats underneath them.  I needed a small console for my area, and this one was affordable.  Since I was moving into a new house, I needed a lot of items, and I didn't take the time to look back at the picture which DOES show distressing.  I wish I would've taken the time to get it returned.
