I am in LOVE with this piece!  Many comments said it was close to black in color (which I wouldn't have minded!), but it really is a dark espresso brown - so it can match other furniture if you needed it too.  The hardware is key!  A lighted hammered feel and just a perfect modern feel to this rustic piece.  It is heavy and solid wood, but i'm 5'1 and could lift it along with my husband to move into place.  Also, the shelves are much deeper than I had realized, which was SO GREAT, because I had a few pieces to store.  The drawers are deep and can easily hold a stack of placemats/napkins, table runners etc - in one drawer (if needed).  A great piece!
