This console table turned out to be exactly what I needed to sit under my wall-mounted TV.  The speaker and other components fit nicely and give the area a finished-look. The table is solid wood, with an espresso finish; the "some assembly required" was actually quite easy. However, I must admit, another set of hands would have been an asset but with a little ingenuity, I was able to assemble the table in about 30 minutes.  I recommend this piece of furniture to anyone thinking of a simple console table to anyone looking for good value and more than decent workmanship.
