I love the actual console.  It was not too hard to assemble.  My one issue was that the bottom shelf did not have pre-drilled holes to attach to the legs.  While I appreciate the reason behind it of allowing you to put the shelf at whatever height you like, I did not have an electric screwdriver to use and had to keep making sure the shelf was level as I tried to screw the legs on.  Would have been easier if the holes were pre-drilled.  Otherwise, a very nice addition to my living room.
