Absolutely gorgeous wood color! The wood top looks black but has a beautiful grain to it. Looks exactly like the photo. The box had a red ribbon that was attached to the bolts so they were easy to fund. Packaging was great. Took about 5-10 minutes to bolt the legs to the underside of the top and was very easy. Table is sturdy and is great for a side table or to use as a nightstand. The table is lightweight but seems to hold a lot 
of weight.
