Arrived very quickly. SO many pieces to put together! Instructions are mostly clear. The occasional “which way is up” when trying to follow the instructions. The color is a dark espresso, almost black. We left off the wine glass rack and the “shelves” to store the bottles of wine (they’re just cheap pieces of wood criss-crosses together). Unfortunately, this piece is NOT stable at all. We’re going to have to go get a big piece of wood for the back to connect the legs. The whole thing wobbles very badly! There’s not enough support between the legs to prevent the wobbling. I love the look of the bar and will definitely serve our purpose, but disappointed I have to get something else to be able to add the support that I need.
