I read many reviews before purchasing - all very helpful. This console table is the right size for our narrow living room. The console photo on the website is much more distressed than the one I received, but i still like it. My table is more black than brown. Securing this item to the wall is a must! It is top heavy and unsteady when pulling open a drawer. The drawer slides are not smooth, but I will not be using them often. I am satisfied with the purchase but would say the quality of the item is not equal to the price paid. There are several spots where the stain and wood look unfinished. Overall perfect size for our space.  Delivery and packaging was excellent.
