I was busy traveling on business, and my wife got tired of seeing the box sitting in the room.  So she opened the box to see what it was going to entail to put it together.  Thirty minutes later the console was sitting in our front hall.  She had put it together, and sent me a picture on my phone.  We have really enjoyed having this piece in the hall.  It replaced an older, smaller table, and the veneers and shape of the new piece just made the hall look much more classic.

Pros: Went together easily, great wood finish and design.
Cons: so far, none!!!
