I'm modernizing my bedroom by getting rid of some of the heavy wood furnishings and this was a perfect addition. I used it to hold my TV. My cable box went on the 2nd shelf and I also have room to display accessories. This is a stable console table to hold what I need. It is a gold color that goes well with my lamps and accessories. It is more of a brownish gold rather than a yellow gold if that makes sense. Still it blends and looks great. It was hard to find a table narrow but not too narrow, and the right height that also included shelves. I would buy it again.
