Love these tables. Elegant black painted to show the wood grain a bit. Transitional style goes with any decor from traditional to more modern. Arrived on time, undamaged with all parts. I got 2 of theses and the first was time-consuming to put together, taking about an hour and a half. However, the second one was completed in about 45 minutes. All pieces fit together properly, although, as with most furniture assembly, it is very helpful to loosely attach the screws in the beginning and only tighten them at the end.
