This is an awesome console table! I'm using mine as a TV stand on carpeted floor, so that pretty much speaks for itself as to how sturdy this table is. Please note, mine did arrive with several chips on the side surface of the table top piece. Dropping one star due to arriving damaged. Considering how much packaging was in the box, goes to show that the table top was already chipped prior to packaging; quality control needs to be a bit better. Otherwise, craftsmanship and quality is pretty good for something at this price point. Definitely worth picking up for something with a VERY reasonable foot print (depth is only 10 inches!), great piece for narrow spaces.
