This console looks even better in person. I love the long length as I am using it as a sofa table. The drawers slide smoothly. It was very well packed for shipping. I do recommend that when assembling, you lightly tighten the legs to the top section and lightly push the legs apart to allow the bottom shelf to fit into place. Then lay the whole table on its backside and put in remaining screws for the shelf and tighten the first set of screws. This is a beautiful table, you won’t be disappointed!
