I am really excited about this 'fireplace" TV console. I do not have it assembled yet because I am waiting for my living room to get painted, but had to take pieces out of the box in order to get it up to the third floor! (I recommend having the delivery people bring it into your house, it is SUPER heavy!!!). It was packaged very well, and, it seems well constructed, The pieces seem solid and sturdy, and really look like real wood. I will have to report back later, when I have it all assembled! It will look great in my Victorian house apartment!
