I think this little consol shelve grew on me! I deducted one star because I’m afraid to add anything heavy in the centers. Otherwise I bought this for our family Christmas party to put alcohol and gobblers on but I was not sure if it could hold the weight. It looks fine like this and adds character and warmth to my home. I chose the black glass and I’m so happy I did because it looks phenomenal and really makes things I placed on it look great. The black glass is like a smoky glass and you can still see through it which is awesome. I didn’t really care for it being behind my sofa so it went in front of the window, this way everyone could see how pretty it is. I think the company who manufactures this could have made the unit slightly wider, instead of 9.5 inches deep, it could have been 10-12 inches deep would have made it more sturdy overall. But I plan to keep it!
