The console table was exactly as pictured.  I ordered the longer (55") version in the black.  It is sturdy and attractive.  I am using it in our family room to allow for some lighting in a dark corner.  It fits the urban vibe I am trying to create, but could be used in many decor styles as it is quite versatile.  Its narrow profile is also great for smaller spaces.  It came earlier than expected, was well packaged, and was easy to put together.
