This console sits on small wall right in the middle of my open floor plan house.  The piece gets a lot of compliments and is perfect for the location I have it.  It does not stick out too far from the wall and sits just high enough to put a beautiful mirror or picture over it with a tall table lamp to accent.  The piece is very dark, maybe even a little darker than shown.  The drawers are lined and are very functional.  I do feel that the console could have been priced a little lower.  It is not a heavy piece at all.
