Although there is legislation in Germany (Bundesgerichtshof (Case v. 12.01.2011, VIII ZR 346/09) that correspond to the actual product images and product, so it is here in no way. For the color displayed does not correspond to the product supplied. As a customer first can not see live product, take pictures the buying decision much easier. So the pictures are just as binding as the product description. Ash, which is ash, or how does the wood look like? Do I not know that as a carpenter. I think -No! That's why I look so well to the product images. And so it started with the letdown ...... PS. For the price, the shelf could also be supplied assembled.
