I love this table!!!  Spent hours reviewing coffee tables and I am not disappointed.  Color is perfect and pretty accurate in the  picture.  (I thought some of the pics in the reviews were not true to color and had me a little concerned).   The size is perfect, especially for a little larger area and it is very solid and sturdy.  I have leather couches and so I wanted a lighter wood.  I would describe it as a medium to light wood.  It is beautiful and very well made.  I highly recommend purchasing.
