The console table is beautiful and fairly sturdy. Very easy to assemble (screw on legs and feet under lower shelf). Unfortunately the drawers come assembled with styrofoam padding wedged inside of them, and thanks to the manufacturing process the drawers cannot be removed. It took me and my boyfriend over an hour to figure out how to remove the foam from the backs of the drawers so they would become functional parts of the table. I actually had to contort my hands and wrists to reach around the back of the drawer and slowly break apart the foam and wedge it up and over the drawer back into the drawer and then remove them. Needless to say I endured some scrapes and bruises during the process. Even though I've received many compliments on the table I wouldn't put myself through that process again, or recommend it to any friends.
