I read so many reviews on this table. I purchased it because it said solid wood, only the wood is super thin, and when you knock on it, it sounds hollow and plastic to me. The bottom shelf seems more solid though even though both shelves are about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick.  The color looks just like the picture. I decided not to return it due to the hassle and hope it will remain chip free or that will show how cheap it was made.
