Really happy with this purchase. we picked it up on a daily deal for around 60, but the quality is definitely worth more. the wood is definitely a gray (close to pictures), and it has a nice grained look up close. pretty easy to assemble and the width is almost exactly the same as our 42" tv. recommended as a nice looking industrial tv stand that looks premium at a low price.pros: excellent value, looks good, seems sturdy so far, might work well as a coffee tablecons: wish there was a cherry wood option (the gray is a bit boring)
