I had ordered this piece as a TV stand in a spare bedroom. The first one I ordered came to me damaged (one of the doors was completely misaligned and not repairable). I contacted customer service immediately and they were wonderful. I received a replacement within days. The color is not quite a pure silver, but with a slight beige stain overlay that gives it a little dimention. The inside is a bit rough so I would not want to use to store clothing or anything too delicate. It works perfectly for my needs, but because of the interior, only giving it 4 stars.
