I bought this piece to stand by the front door. The measurements were exactly what I needed for the space. I bought the light color console table as I knew I would be spray painting it black. Spray painting it black was the perfect choice as it pops against the light gray colored wall. The spray paint absorbed very quickly to the wood, and I had it back inside the living room within a couple of hours after spray painting. I purchased the lamp and wicker baskets underneath separately. It’s great buy, and there was no assembly needed.
