Definitely not a rustic grey in color (it's a light brown wood color) and definitely not made of a strong, sturdy material. It's not wood but is made to look like it, except that leads to some splintering. In addition, my item arrived with several dings, nicks and chips dug into the material.
All of the above said, the table is a good size and mostly looks nice but in terms of style, material and long term durability, I cannot recommend.
