It's a beautiful table.  Like most comments for all things on Wayfair, the color is totally darker than the color correcting of the images on the site.  I think it can be a blanket statement that just assume it's a shade darker than in the photo.  The packaging, assembly and over craftsmanship is fantastic.  It's a great value.  I might finish it an end-table to match now that I know it's well made.
