I took quite a while to decide on this console table, so I’m so glad I bought it. It’s beautiful. The wood is solid  the style is a good mix of modern  traditional. As other reviewers have noted, the color is darker than the pictures denote, which I am very happy about. It is a rich brown color. The assembly was also seamless. I plan to put the couch in front of it,  almost don’t want to bc I want it to be seen more.
