I love this console table. It looks great and is very sturdy. Although the instructions weren't perfect, it went together easily. I looked at lots of different tables and I believe this is by far the best value. One of the best things about the table was how it was packaged. The cardboard box it came in had reinforced "bumpers" along all the edges. It took almost as long to open the package as it took to assemble the table, but I'd rather it be that way than have a damaged product because it wasn't packaged properly.
