I bought this to put next to my desk as a printer table. It's very functional - right size for my printer, top shelf can be used for paper, and bottom shelf has room for a basket or storage bin. Color is a grayish wood. It's not high quality but I wasn't expecting that. I will say that the instructions were not good - don't follow them! The top piece has to go on before the middle shelf or else you won't be able to screw it in. A few others on here mentioned that and I wish I had paid attention. Other than that, it's a great little table for my printer!
