I'm so impressed with this piece! It completely exceeded my expectations . For the price, this console cannot be beat. Even though it is pressed wood, it feels and looks very solid. It looks much more expensive than it was, and is a perfect blend of modern and rustic. The brass handles are SOLID and the perfect detail. I'm even impressed with the assembly. I gave it four stars only because it isn't solid wood, and the assembly, though not difficult, was a lengthy and arduous process. But I'm a 4'9" female and I put it together by myself! I can't wait until my television arrives and I can complete the piece! And after a few other damaged items, this one with its many many pieces came in perfect condition! Love it!
