I really wanted to love this console but I can't say I'm thrilled with this purchase. The style is farmhouse/rustic (which I knew and wanted), but the console looks very distressed...differently than the type of distress that I was expecting. It almost looks like someone took a blade to certain parts to cut out pieces for the "distressed" look. I would not say that it looks as expensive as what we paid for. That said, it is solid wood (and very heavy so I don't recommend moving it by yourself like I did) and the color is exactly what we were expecting. It is a very heavy, sturdy piece of furniture and compliments our rug and couch (also from J&M).
