Love this console!!! this was purchased for my client who has a beach house so the unfinished piece wasperfect to customize for them. i stained it with "harbor grey" behr deck paint, semi-transparent which worked well. added crystal sphere handles to upgrade the overall look.it's very well made, easy to assemble, weighty without being heavy & elegant inappearance. added a crystal lamp, mirrored tray, and a organic basket to balance the rustic glam that my clientwants to achieve.
