Based on the stock photo I was expecting a more red/orange undertone that would better match my existing table/chairs. The color is much more brown. There is a close up photo in another review that is spot on for coloration in my opinion. However, I got this as a wayday deal and since it is real wood I will keep it and sand/stain the top in the spring. I still rated 4 stars, because I should have looked at the other reviews to see the true color and it is very sturdy and solid wood.
