This console table is perfectly understated and modern. We have it at the entrance of our apartment which has a small hallway and paired it with a black circle mirror and they go perfectly together. The assembly was fairly straightforward. There's enough space for a good 3 items across it so choose wisely! I was actually looking at a very similar table with the only difference being the other having a bottom ledge to put things. I'm somewhat glad I didn't go with that one because this way I can put something decorative on the bottom like an ottoman or large basket.
