This table looks exactly as pictured. It is well made, very sturdy and has a rich colored finish of which I absolutely love.  It definitely looks high end, simple, and elegant at the same time.  I put this table together by myself in under an hour.  The directions were simple and assembly only involved 8 screws.  My living room has casual look and feel with a sage colored sectional and this table goes perfectly.  I would definitely recommend this coffee table.
