I thought the top would be darker… that’s probably my fault. The off colored stickers supplied to cover the bolts holding this piece together look tacky as hell and not what I have come to expect from the many pieces I have purchased from Wayfair. This “End table” is more like a small table you would put in the corner with a small house plant on it. First time being disappointed with my purchase from this wonderful site. I basically furnished my entire apartment from Wayfair so if 1 cheap end table that I purchased on a whim is the worst thing I receive I can certainly live with it. 4.5 ⭐️ for Wayfair, .5 ⭐️ for this terrible piece.
