Great, solid piece of furniture. The color is just as displayed on the website- it’s brown with grey in it. It was super easy to put together. The legs had pre-drilled holes but the black accent hardware didn’t have pre-drilled holes so we had to measure to make sure it is screwed on centered. There are holes in the wood which would probably trap food and dirt but it would be just an extra step to clean. It adds to the rustic charm of the furniture. It is sanded so it’s not rough, but it’s not smooth like it is lacquered either. Most of the wood planks are flush together but there are some small spots where there are tiny gaps.  Overall, extremely happy with this purchase, would buy again  and recommend.
