The color is just like the picture but I think this item is overpriced. It is very lightweight and doesn’t seem like a high quality product but sure does look like it. It serves its purpose well as a stool in my closet. I hate to sound petty but the gold part came wrapped in plastic to protect from scratches but it was such a pain to get off completely. I ended up having to tuck it around the corners because I couldn’t peel it off completely. Overall, I am satisfied with my
purchase.
