The dark finish console was easily assembled. The step-by-step instructions (with drawings) were understandable and all pieces, including screws, were identifiable and included. I laid the pieces out on the floor, and from there construction was a snap. The console's look is modern, but fits in our contemporary furnishings. The finished item is sturdy and elegant and appears costly. It looks terrific with our 65" TV and is just the right height. The two sliding doors glide perfectly, and the interior shelf is handy for sound or other equipment.
