I specifically bought this console table after what felt like an endless search, based largely on two things. One, it was not made in China, and two, it claimed to be solid wood, no particle board or other junky material that off-gases toxins.  When I opened the package, I was generally unimpressed and there was a smell coming from inside the box.  I dont believe its solid wood as claimed.  And I also have the feeling the material its made of IS in fact off-gassing toxins into my home.  Its kind of flimsy, made all the more obvious when you open the small drawer.   From afar, I suppose it looks okay for the money, but if I had it to do all over again, Id spend an extra 50 to 100 and get something better quality. If it didnt seem like way too much effort, Id return it.  Im left scratching my head that it got so many glowing reviews...
