This console table was very sturdy and i loved the look of it. Initially i was going to use in my living room but decided to go in a different direction. I used it as a tv stand. It has brackets that u can use to attach to wall to prevent tipping. The only thing negative is when putting together i came to a point where the holes meant to reinforce the stand in the back did not line up with holes on the shelves so i wasnt able to screw in all the screws required.( see first pic) however i was able to screw in enough as to not  initally affect its stability. As time passed the the bottom shelf became loose and i had to drill addl holes to reinforce..
