I ordered two of these.  One is perfectly fine, the other had a bottom board that was half dark colored wood and half 'bleached' color.  I wasn't paying attention until I was finished and flipped the second one over.   I did not want to deal with taking it apart and sending it back, waiting for a new one and reassembling. I hate assembling.  So, I'm dealing with it, but I 'see it' every time I look at it.   Next time, I will check the coloration of the pieces first.  Overall, it's good quality, and the first one with no coloration issues looks great.
