It looks exactly as it did in the photo. It’s really very very attractive and sturdy.We put it out on the lanai to hold a heavy fryer and it works great for that. The only issue I had was with the packaging.One of the corners of the table was dented. It appeared that it happened in shipping. If the corners head add some extra cardboard packaging I think it would’ve helped. Because we’re keeping it outdoors and it’s a pain to return something and wait for another one I decided just to ignore the dent.The height is good and it would work well in the kitchen as a prep space.
