I bought this console for our entry hall.  The only negative I noticed is that the drawer is not smooth opening/closing.  I have to give it a hard push to close fully.  However, I do not intend to use the drawer often, thus it is not a deterrent for me.  The console is pretty sturdy and has an overall nice look and functions well for what I needed it for.  Considering the price, I was happy with the purchase.
