I loved that the color shown was the actual color I received. It looks just like the picture. As far as functionality I love that we can raise the top up and has extra storage. The size is perfect for in front of our huge sectional, it’s very solid which I was hoping. The box was heavy so that’s always a good sign and it was packaged perfectly. I laid everything out including the screws before I started to ensure I had everything which I did. Took me about 3 hours to put it together. I took my time. Definitely follow the instructions. Not hard but you don’t want to miss a step. I definitely recommend this company.
