We received this for our living room 2 weeks ago. Very happy with delivery, overall appearance, and sturdiness. The color is definitely dark, almost black, like others have stated but I expected that from the other comments. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the cushion could be more padded,..it's definitely lacking in that area. However, it makes for a sturdier tabletop. It was a great deal for the money.
