Opened the package and it was this grayish dark brown - NOT remotely black. I had seen another review that said this was their experience and hoped it was a fluke. Also, despite the only two color options online being Black and a light wood, the box literally says "COLOR: GREY" on the side. I did NOT order that. Here's a warning to other customers considering purchasing this item: apparently, it's more common than you would hope.

Missing pieces! And it's not black, despite the box saying it's black and your pictures show black

The quality of this table is really good. The pieces are solid and it is really heavy. Im still assembling, but am happy with the quality so far. The color is also very nice, but I do wish that it came in white. Ill update the photos once I finish assembly. I think this will make a great space saver table and plan to use it for crafting projects rather than dining.

This table works well and is sturdy. It has clasps underneath to hold each leaf in place. It took me maybe 3 hours to put together by myself with a drill.

I think this is a very versatile piece of furniture. It was very heavy, so we put it together in our garage (so, please excuse the background in the photos). There was one screw that was missing, so we left one out underneath the table section that pulls out well try to find a similar screw at the hardware store. It took two people about three hours to put this together. While I believe the description says the table can fit about eight people, I believe you can fit only like four to five. Once the heavy mechanism to extend the table was built, it was fairly smooth and easy to pull out that section and extend it. The only thing I wish was that, while you are not using the table extension and you are using it as a sideboard, you will have to find a place to store the four leaves where they will not get scratched. You can probably see in the photos that there is a section in the shelf area that is noticeably not black, so that makes it look a bit cheaper as a piece of furniture. However, it is still very useful if you have a large family coming over for a holiday and need an extra table where youre all seated together.
