I have been looking for a sofa/console table for a while that had a low shelf, a drawer, and a thinner profile (didn't stick out too far from the wall). This table is beautiful and looks much more expensive than what I paid for it. I would consider myself a high end shopper (restoration hardware, ethan allen, etc..) and always will spend a little extra for quality but the design of this table was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to put it together by myself within 30 minutes even though I reversed the front & back legs the first time. [...] I am going to purchase another to go in the hall upstairs. These would even look nice as bedside tables if you had a large enough bedroom with a big bed. I can't say enough good things about this table!!
