Bought two of these to put on either side of my TV stand.  They were a little shorter than I had thought-I didn't measure well.  Color was more of a cabernet or wine color than I expected.  Color was called expresso in the description.  My TV stand is matte black and it didn't go with it. Definitely a red tint to the color.  But I put it together and use it in my sun room as an accent piece there and I love it.  I am returning the other one because I don't have a need for two now.
