Mixed review: ultimately, this console was not overly difficult to assemble, it looks good in my space, and the fireplace component is pretty cool. It's a heavy, fairly sturdy item. A PS5 fits snugly in the raised space. 

When it first arrived, both packages (2 boxes) were left in front of my garage in the pouring rain -- thanks, FedEx. After managing to get it inside and opening the main box, I immediately saw that two long boards were broken into multiple pieces. After reporting this, asking for replacements, etc. I was told that those boards are "shipping supports" and not actual pieces. What?! Why is this not mentioned somewhere? Aside from this being proof that the box was severely mishandled in transit, I'm now stuck with disposing of broken, rather large pieces. Very inconvenient. 

The console itself is a 4.5 and the shipping/assembly experience is a 2.
