I love this table, but the color is off from the photo.  Not sure what an auburn finish is supposed to be.  You would expect it to have more of a reddish tint like the photo, but it does not, closer to walnut, but it still works with my lighter sideboard.  It is easy to assemble.  I have it between two swiveling chairs in our living room.  You can't beat the price, a real bargain.
