I bought this for a gift for my daughter's new home.  The top was nicely padded and a neutral taupe color.  She can probably recover it easily in future if she decides to change color but it looks fine as is and blends with her bathroom décor.  It's sold unfinished but the legs are nice and smooth and she said she's going to use it just the way it is for now because it looks really nice. She can always stain or paint it later if she wants to.
