We are very happy with this table. It's used in an office for client meetings. The color is a dark brown, with a hint of warmth. Some reviewers say the top scratches easily. We've been using it for a month now and I can see minor scratches, but nothing that detracts from it. But I do believe the top will not hold up to a lot of use or much abuse. The base is solid and the top does not wobble at all. However,  you do have to use common sense when assembling furniture. A square was drawn on the bottom of the top, which was the outline for attaching the base. Had we followed that guide the top would be off center by 4 inches! We choose to measure and center it ourselves. Also, the base screws on to the top, but no screw holes were provided. Assembly will go much better if you have a small power drill.
