I just completed putting this together last night.  I thought the picture makes it look like the color of the table is a gray, but my table is definitely black.  Just FYI.  I've bought several things from Wayfair to furnish a new condo.  Of all the instruction packets that I've had to use recently to put my stuff together, the instructions for this coffee table were impressively detailed and wonderful.  There was zero confusion on this versus having some difficulty on a kitchen pantry and dining table.  Another FYI is that...if you are choosing between coffee tables, this one is pretty low to the ground.  The picture does show that this is probably the case.  I guess I wasn't really thinking about that when I bought it and it is kind of something I'm contemplating after putting it together.
