wood colors vary and are hard to tell from picture. is this a really light oak, closer to a pine / natural color, or is a more of a medium dark oak?

Well, it's definitely not a medium dark color. It's a light color and appears to me to be light oak. It's not really wood. It's a thin paper covering, very sensitive to wear.

I suppose it's a matter of taste, whether they'll look good. To me, honey oak is a medium-to-lightish golden wood color with visible grain and darker swirls in it. These tables are darker than that: the side wood is medium oak color and has a grain, but the top surface is darker and will not match. Personally, I try for similar but not exactly matching wood colors around a room, as long as styles are compatible. If color is what you need to look good, these may be too dark for a honey oak.

Darkish oak--not the lighter blond oak. Truly a medium brown in color. Nice looking.

I'd agree with the previous answer. I'd actually call it a Honey Oak (just a bit darker than Natural Oak), but definitely not yellow. The picture does not do it justice.

based on the cost and the weight, I assumed that it is probably made of pine and stained dark. In my inspection, i believe i was right. I do see the grain of wood so it is not compressed wood. It is actually quite beautiful and well made for how little I paid. It does look great with my cherry furniture in the guest room.

It's more of a taupe color but looks great with our bedspread and medium oak furniture. For you it might depend on the colors in your room. Hope this helps.

The wood is a natural color almost exactly like it looks in the picture. I bought this in December and am very happy with it.

I would say that the color shown is accurate but calling the wood look similar to oak is a real stretch because it is not heavily grained.

Color is dark oak, similar to a light cherry. It was darker then I wanted, I wanted a honey oak. I like the desk. Only problem is the center drawer is really hard to open.

Sorry for the delay in responding, just catching up with my email.I cannot be sure about what type of wood the pieces are made of.It seems to be a tight-grained, light hardwood, not softwood.Looks a lot like boxwood, especially the end-grain, but again, I cannot be sure.The dark pieces appear to be of the same type of wood, but stained, not painted.

Its not so dark as a cherry, but its not a light oak either. I'd call it medium.

I'd call them medium oak - they are not light. They match my walnut floors well. Hope that helps.

When I think oak I think more in the brown/tan family. The one I received I would classify as a light cherry. More red in the finish than brown.

I would call it a Cherry Oak, it has the hint of red mixed with a more common wood color. Very quality product, made a great present for my mother.

Yes, I was concerned about the same. It does not look like some cheesy oak piece. I would say it just a shade lighter than what it looks like on the picture, but still dark.

It is the exact color shown in the picture. Medium color of wood, not as light as oak and not as dark as cherry.

Mine was also a medium oak color, there was no other choice. The color worked out great for me, love the table!!
