Really pretty piece. I looked at at least a thousand - not an exaggeration. We have a 75 inch tv and I wanted something that would be wider than the tv. Also the color goes great with a neutral pallette. I found so many consoles were either dark brown or white or Gray. I would call this cream with gray undertones. It helps break up our dark floor. I initially purchased the handiman service but was easily able to cancel it bc my husband was able to put it together. He has a low to medium skill level and It took him about 3 and a half hours to finish it. He said the instructions were straight forward and the instructions lined up with the pieces - like there were screw holes where it was supposed to be. There was one very small defect on the edge of the top piece but bc of the pattern being varied , you don’t notice it at all.
