We do love the console, I hate putting furniture together, I really do. There are soooo many pieces, but the quality of the piece, is pretty solid. We're using this as a TV stand in one of our guest rooms & it's perfect. The size doesn't take up much floor room, it works in the space. This was also on sale- for a great price, so even having to sort a million screws and parts & it taking us two hours to put it together, it was fine.
