This is a solidly built piece of furniture with a slightly gray/bleached oak look.  It will work well in our new house.  It is built better than many other pieces of furniture available in furniture stores.  The soft-close drawers are fantastic and it's a feature that Wayfair should be highlighting in their description.  I'm giving it 4 stars because we bought two of these and while the first was in perfect shape, the second came badly damaged.  Wayfair was great about replacing that piece for us with no hassles whatsoever.
