I bought this to use as a plant stand. For that purpose it is perfect and I would have given five stars... but I suspect most people buy this as an actual console table and the wood on top is either not finished or finished very poorly - it feels almost like raw wood. In addition,  mine has a fairly large round dent in the top (like a knot of wood fell out). Again, it all depends on the purpose for the table - in my case I don't care because it will be covered with plants but for those looking for a stylish console table I'm not sure I would recommend.
