I purchased this console table because the dimensions were perfect for the small space I was trying to fill.    The color is not cream, but it is a really pretty grey/green which I actually prefer.  The table looks elegant, but would fit in with any décor (ours is a bit farmhouse/eccentric) and could serve many purposes.  I was surprised at how heavy and solid it is.  My only complaint is that I had difficulties getting some of the holes to match up when I was assembling it so my husband will have to drill a hole or two to make it work.
