This console is beautiful.  Solid wood (except for the drawer bottoms and the back) and quite heavy.  I have assembled furniture, gas grills, fire tables so I have a plan from beginning to end.  This table has a lot of pieces and required some planning and organization.  It took me nearly 5 hours by myself.  The screws go in quite easily with a regular screwdriver, I did use my drill on low speed for some of the more tedious parts.  It was worth it.  I love it!
