Really really pleased with this purchase!  I bought 3 of them and my husband and I have used them almost every day and they've held up extremely well.  The finish is as pictured - a nice deep espresso color.  Easy to clean and very durable.  It makes a great tray when the legs are folded because the legs completely disappear and the tray lays flush with whatever surface it's in contact with.  Heavy, but not too heavy - just a nice weight that makes it feel more expensive than it is.
