We bought the white console to go behind loveseat which backs to small foyer so console serves as an entry table as well though but looks a little bit low for that purpose but does not look bad when you see the living room.  Nonetheless, we set on it a high glass vase with long dry plant sprigs painted in black for contrast and some glitter for shine, and some other shorter items, so it looks great!  Console looks modern and paint is a has soft shine, nothing glossy, but for the price it's a good buy and would buy again.  It can also serve as a writing desk.   Enjoy!
