It works. It is not cherry colored at all, more like very dark brown, close to black. the metal legs have strange stains on them that look like water damage and the areas near the joints look rusty. there are white scratches on the fake top wood portion as well. the plastic wrap on the top was put on before the cheap metal legs were put on so you can't get it all off. It's not well made, but it does it's job. I'm embarrassed to keep it out, so very glad it folds away to hide it in a closet if guests come over. I bought it on sale. I will not be buying anything from wayfair again. Their manufactured-in-China products are awful if my past three purchases are any indicator.
