4.5 stars.  I am very impressed by the high quality of this piece of furniture.  It's solid, well-made, heavy, and real wood.  It's exactly what I've wanted ever since I first saw something like it in a West Elm catalog for over double the price of this one. It's hard to find a good quality very narrow depth (under 10 inches) console table, and after 1.5 years of hunting I started seriously thinking of having one custom-made.  Thankfully, this table meets almost all my needs and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  Plus, it appeals to my eclectic style of decorating.  Note:  because it's solid wood and heavy, it truly is a two-person job to put it together, especially when you begin to screw in the legs, etc.  The only quality control issue we had was that one screw hole couldn't align correctly, so we decided to ignore it since the other seven are screwed in tight.  However, this design "flaw" is why I am giving the table 4.5 stars instead of 5.
