The color and size of this piece were exactly as expected and look just like the photo.  It's a massive piece of furniture but the sleek design is what I was looking for. There were a few minor scratches on the top piece which is annoying but will be easy to cover. Regarding assembly, this is where I need to deduct stars. It was very easy for me to put together the base and all the shelves.  However getting the doors hung and the hinges lined up has been incredibly frustrating. Two of the doors are hanging crooked and I can't seem to get them level despite taking them on and off 12 times. Disappointing.
