Yeah it is. They had it in vibrant red and orange too, but this particular piece was near a window for a while, very faded. It had a proper label sticker on it and everything. They were surprised by it too, but it looked like nothing else they sold and did look like padauk, just faded. I liked it a lot, because it's neutral light wood with darker reddish and brown veins in it. Overall a neutral-to-cool color, but my camera has some color accuracy problems ;( The 3rd photograph is too dark and yellow.
