This looks just like the photo but has a smaller presence in the room than I expected.  That's a plus for me.  It has a subtle odor of wood and/or maybe wood stain, but that will dissipate with time, I'm sure.  It's a nice change from all the MDF that so much furniture is made of these days.  I put my small but heavy older TV on one side of it and this thing is solid enough to hold that weight.  

I'm thinking of staining the top a shiny dark brown and painting the legs and bottom a solid color (maybe cream or sage).  That would give it a bit more polish and sophistication, but I haven't decided whether to do it yet.
