I bought the plum version, and with the speckled color variations, it actually does look like a plum! It's a nice simple table and I like the pop of color. It had an imperfection in the pottery (kind of a dent) near the base on one side, but I turned it so it isn't noticeable. It seemed like it would be a pain to exchange and they are out of stock on that color at present too, so I am OK with the one I have.
