Very sturdy console table. Very dark brown (espresso) color is as pictured and what I expected. I only gave it 4 stars because there was a small gouge on the bottom piece, so I intentionally placed that piece towards the back of the table. Can't be seen now and not worth even calling Wayfair about it...they've been awesome in the past for sure! Love the storage that this unit provides. Was on backorder for a while but glad it finally made it.
