I got the birch. I like this a lot for the price, a great neutral piece. There were some nicks along some of the side edges, but that is to be expected with a particle board veneer. Didn't have any large scratches like other reviewers on here.

I did have issues aligning the swinging doors and not having them rub up against the sliding doors. I found flipping the two swinging doors solved this problem (with a lot of hinge adjustments.) Took a couple hours to put the whole thing together on my own.

I'm providing photos as I did not see birch photos posted here. Color is pretty true to the photos, basically it's a light grey tone. There's not really any light tan tone as the page's swatch would indicate.
