I bought the espresso version of this table (and matching end table) and it's great. It has rich color and allows us to display pictures, books and knickknacks without cluttering up surfaces. I'd definitely recommend the item. 

Only reason I didn't go five stars is because after a while the bottom shelf - which we use for magazines - started to come unattached. At this point it's pretty loose, especially in one of the corners closest to the house.
