The color wood of the buffet is not like the main display picture. I felt like I took a gamble when purchasing, but it ended up being a nice medium wood tone. Assembly was a bit rough- I started in my own, but quickly needed my husband’s help. Even with the two of us, it took well over an hour. The wood scratches easily, but I found a brown colored pencil does great hiding minor scratches. Overall a great table for the price and serves its purpose well for my home.
