Our Aarika console table arrived today with the packaging in perfect shape and everything in tact. It definitely took much longer than the one-hour assembly time that was mentioned… It was more like three hours for two people.  But in the end, our new console table looks great.  It is very sturdy but the materials are somewhat cheap.  I’d recommend that you be VERY careful with any tools that you use because the black paint coating on the wood scrapes off very easily.  I will be buying a black furniture touch up market or pencil tomorrow to cover over the scuffs we encountered during assembly. But either way, for the price, our new little console will serve our purposes just fine.
