This is a nice substantial piece. I took one star off because you really can’t tell what color it is prior to buying. It is a washed wood taupey gray.  I was worried with the reviews because several complained about the color and others complained about the quality. Both are good in my opinion. I have a mostly gray bedroom and this piece fits in nicely. It is heavy and seems like a quality piece. Came packaged well and I put it together in 10 mins. I like the velvet drawer and the open space gives me an opportunity to either put a basket or keep open and stack books as a design effect.
