First Thing- The Color In The Picture Is Not The Actual Color Of The Table. I Actually Wanted Gray, And Searched Under Grey And These Showed Up Under That Color Search. These Are A Very Dark Brown, And Look Black In Darker Lighting. I Also Expected These To Be Better Quality Wood, But They Are Just Like Any Put Together Furniture You Would Buy At Wal-Mart And The Finish Is A Laminate I Believe. They Are Very Sturdy, And They Have A Nice Big Top That You Can Easily Place A Lamp On. They Took Less Than An Hour To Put Together. Once Put Together They Do Not Look As Cheap But If I Wasn'T So Lazy I May Have Sent These Back.
