This is a beautiful shelf and looks great in my new home!  Unfortunately, I also bought the three tier shelf to match and they do not match at all!  The pipe on the three tier is black with brushed silver.  The wood shelf is not as dark at the other shelf.  If you are looking for matching pieces, these are not it!  I am going to keep it simply due to the fact that it is quite heavy and will cost a fortune to send back.  Disappointed.
