The quality is above average for the small price.  Color is definitely espresso not the color pictured. I was hoping for a warmer wood tone as pictured since my dining room table is not as dark as espresso, but it still works.  Versatile style so it would really go in any room.  I have a very traditional (wing back chairs and traditional sofa), but these look fine.  The addition of accent pieces will be what make this table work for any decor.  It is a modern wood tone but almost a Craftsman style piece with its simple lines.  Very nice.  (I have two, one on each side of the sofa.)
