This is definitely darker in person than in the picture and I like that.  The base looks so light brown/reddish in the picture, it isn't, it's a much better dark brown/black color.  

This thing is so heavy.  I actually do not know how most people deal with it.  We managed but needed a dolly to move it from the entrance to the living room.

The base is rough, not smooth - in case that is important to people.

The coffee table is LOW.  15".  I kind of thought all coffee tables were the same height and I wasn't paying attention to this.  It is ok but I would probably choose something a bit taller if I had realized there was so much height variety.

All in all it looks good, just as on the website - super modern, very clean look.
