Love the table. Perfect for the inside corner of my sectional. Color is a nice grey with a slight hint of brown or taupe. The metal legs are shiny but with the darker silver/bronze color to them the shininess doesn't really stand out. Has a nice grain texture to it. The surface size is great, bigger than I expected but not too big. Very sturdy and the base slides right under the sofa to keep it out of the way of feet. Easy to put together, took me about 15 minutes. I would recommend using a phillips screw driver instead of the tool it comes with (tool works fine just harder on your hands), it went much smoother and was fairly easy once I grabbed my screw driver.
