This piece is gorgeous in the dark espresso. It offers my family living room a modern feel and pairs wonderfully with our dark leather couches. We just could not be any happier with the results! It's big but not huge and has plenty of shelving for organizing the perfect entertainment center. It also looks great under our 65 inch tv, though we keep ours mounted to the wall. We use it mostly to house are gaming consoles, cases and other electronic devices. It was a bit of a bear to assemble as it was large, heavy and had a lot of pieces but that manual provides clear instructions with photos! This might take 1 person a couple of hours to put together but with 2 of us it came together quick. Awesome entertainment center!
