Very pleased with this purchase. Pretty dark color as shown. I bought this to store my shoes (ladies size 8 all 3-4" heels and short boots).  I was able to fit 24 pairs of shoes easily.  With all the shelving, it will not fit any boots much higher than ankle fitting without laying them sideways.  I have it sitting on carpet, legs attached, and it sits stable but due to the lighter weight, as any type of furniture, could fall if purposely pulled toward you. If children use, I would recommend to be wall braced for safety (those brackets are included).  This product may sit better on carpet without the legs.  I will be purchasing a second one to store my boots, using half the shelving.  I do recommend this product!
