Like many of the other reviewers have stated, this product looks exactly as it does in the picture.  Our main aesthetic is grays & neutrals, and this "dark taupe" definitely lends itself nicely with the look we were hoping to achieve.

While the piece is definitely sturdy, it should definitely be noted this is not a solid wood piece.  However, for the price, the end result/look is DEFINITELY worth it for an affordable contemporary TV stand.

Pros: Great value, Affordable Contemporary
Cons: Not solid wood, 2 hour installation (for 2 people)
