The Teamson Home sideboard is a great piece of furniture!  The sideboard has a medium finish with a wood grain pattern.  The knobs and drawer pulls are black metal.  I put this together alone, so assembly probably took me a little longer than the instructions indicated, but the step-by-step manual was clear and easy to follow and made assembling the sideboard much easier! 
I am actually using this sideboard as a low-profile dresser in my master bedroom for my folded clothing.  It works wonderfully for this purpose as well!  A great piece of furniture no matter how you decide to use it!
