I absolutely love this bookshelf/console unit. My fiance was away for the day, and I was eager to put this furniture together. With my trusty hammer and screwdriver, I successfully put it all together all by myself. I love it. It is a great addition to my guest room, but if I didn't have a console in place already, I would make it the focal point in my living room for all to see. I love the rustic effect that this piece offers. It's hard to believe it is not real wood when you're looking at it from far and up close! I've ordered furniture from this manufacturer before, and the quality is amazing - compared to any "assemble at home" furniture. Not to mention, wayfair's customer service and shipping policy are great - I got this unit in just two days. I highly recommend it!
