The console arrived about a month after ordering, but delivery was smooth and set up really only took about 20 minutes. The chest is very heavy and did take two people to assemble, but there wasn’t too much to do. The mattress has a slight smell but aired out quickly. We haven’t used it for guests yet but it’s a very nifty piece of furniture. The color is less gray than I expected, sort of a green cast to it, but it doesn’t bother me.
