I love the finish on this table. Very modern. Looks expensive. Was a breeze to put together. My 2 year old was climbing my back the whole time I was assembling it. And it was still easy and fast! I've been eyeing a similar table at Pier1 for some time now but that's double the price! Thought to give this one from Wayfair a try and I'm glad I did. Just love it! I called Wayfair before buying it and was told that the finish has been mislabeled as espresso. It's lighter and more of an oak finish. This is correct. It's not really espresso. There's a close up picture of the table shown and the color is true to that. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase. Customer service was excellent. Received the package within 48 hours of placing the order with free shipping! Thank you, Wayfair!
