The quality of this cabinet is very good, and it is a great convenient size.  Color is a very dark brown espresso...but it isn't so dark that it looks black.  It did require assembly, but the instructions were good and I put it together myself in about an hour.  You just need a Philips screwdriver, no special tools or strength required.  I would recommend this for bathroom or even storage in another room of the house -- it is in my living room and doesn't look out of place.
