Took me a little time to put it together but boy was it worth it.It works perfect beside my recliner.Looks like I paid triple what I actually did.Rich dark brown that's only slightly lighter than another table I have with an expresso finish.Alot of room on this table which surprised me,thought it would not hold much.Glad I was wrong.Worth every penny,you wont regret this purchase.Four stars but only because the bottom shelf was tricky to get together.
