Wanted to put this table in the living room but it looked much better in our entrance way.  I personally like how you can see the darker wood at the top.  Very versatile and the distressed nature of it makes it really unique. It is kind of yellowy but that worked fine for me. I was having a hard time finding a not so wide console table too and this worked perfectly.  Thin enough to be quite sturdy.  Heads up, there's foam inside the drawers that were kind of hard to take out so don't forget those!   

Pros: easy assembly, great finish
