The front travertine is slightly darker than the image and is completely sealed (smooth glossy touch). The first shipment arrived damaged, but the replacement was received 4 weeks later and looks great. I bought this item for $2.9k (w/ tax +delivery) during the Black Friday sale, whereas the rest of the year it retails for~$3400 (no tax/delivery incl.) White glove service by Perigold involved a single mover with a 10” wide dolly trying to unload this massive item which was extremely unsafe throughout the delivery process.

Beautiful piece with plenty of storage space. My only complaint is the doors are not exactly even on both sides so there is a larger gap between the doors than shown in the picture.
