I originally wanted to build my own console table for my TV, but it was taking longer than anticipated. I came across this unfinished console table and decided that this piece would work. Not only was it the exact size I needed but the style was perfect. I did refinish the wood color to match the rest of the decor and I must say it's the perfect piece in my living room. Pros: Easy to assemble and can be stained or painted.Cons: Might be too tall for a TV stand, depending on people's height option.
