We waited a long time for this Canora Grey piece to match the coffee table we purchased and it was worth the wait. The gold leaf finish is exactly what we were looking for. You can tell that it was applied very carefully. Assembly was fairly simple. One annoyance is the colored dot stickers that are on the legs and the top to help you match them up. The glue is difficult to get off so use a solvent rather than scrape it. Scraping will remove the gold leafing! The glass top is thick so the entire console feels very sturdy. Highly recommend!
