The color was darker than I anticipated but it didn'the really matter since this tabke is behind a couch. Otherwise looks really nice and fits the space where I intended Theo out it in perfectly. It was relatively easy to set up, though I did have to wiggle things around a bit so that the predrilled holes lined up and I was missing a washer ring. I was still able to finish putting it together nonetheless. It took less than 30 minutes to put together by myself and the finished product was not heavy to lift at all. I would definitely purchase the item again.
